It would be fair to say I jumped at the chance to review this book - anything that challenges the current world of child protection was, I thought, worth reading. Sadly, I was disappointed. The book does not so much roar a challenge as gently purr in a rather refined way.
The premise for the book is a good one and the three challenges set, while not really challenges so much as activities, provide a potential framework for robust analysis of the constructs that are applied in the UK. However, the content is a bit of a curate's egg. What is missing is an explicit recognition of the realities of child protection for practitioners, managers and leaders in the UK against which the chapters dealing with each challenge could be framed.
