The _Child Protection Handbook_ explains how to recognise abuse and
protect at-risk children for those working with children and young
people aged under 18, including in social care, education, health
services, and sport and leisure settings.
The book has been fully updated to incorporate the impact of new
technology as well as current legal and policy frameworks that govern
statutory child protection intervention in the UK. It considers all

the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on child protection work.
