The third edition of this text provides a comprehensive explanation of the complex legal framework that surrounds child abuse, written for all professionals and agencies responsible for protecting children. Child Abuse provides a practical account of the range of civil and criminal proceedings, and describes the interaction of the various disciplines involved in the process.

Changes include:-

  • amendments to the Children Act 1989;
  • the introduction of the Human Rights Act 1998;
  • the Protection of Children Act 1999;
  • the Care Standards Act 2000;
  • the Children (Leaving Care) Act 2000;
  • the Crime and Disorder Act 1998;
  • and the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
