Those who work with children and young people have a responsibility
to safeguard and promote their welfare. Recognizing and detecting
signs of emotional abuse and neglect is an important responsibility
as well as a key skill. As well as ensuring that children and young
people are free from harm, it is equally important to ensure their
well-being and quality of life.

This new edition of Olive Stevenson's highly respected

research developments, and expanded to include greater
consideration of topics such as the impact of parental mental
health, substance abuse and alcoholism on parental capacity and the
issue of parents with learning disabilities. Providing clear
guidelines for the assessment and intervention of child neglect,
Neglected Children and Their Families is an invaluable
resource for all those studying and working in childcare, including
social workers, health visitors and child nurses.
