Reviews

‘Different, fresh and arresting. What Harry Ferguson does better than anyone else is capture the actualite of front-line child protection work. The book is so unlike any other in the busy market place of child protection books, it should have no difficulty sticking its head above the crowd. It is utterly distinct in terms of its willingness and ability to talk about the job in terms of how it looks, feels, smells and sounds as practitioners move between office, car and home.’ – David Howe, Professor Emeritus, School of Social Work and Psychology, University of East Anglia, UK

“I was very impressed by this book. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it includes some of the most interesting and original writing about social work and child protection I have seen. It is a strength of the book that the author is prepared to set out his own position on the line. This makes it enjoyable, stimulating and challenging to read.” – Chris Beckett, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of East Anglia, UK
