"""I know of and respect each and every author in this book. That is testament to the power of their individual and collective voice. Read the truth of their words."" David Anderson, Social Work Consultant ""Incisively critical yet full of hope - I would recommend this book to all children's social care workers and more importantly to the people we aim to serve."" Fiona Daniels, children's social worker ""Working with children and families forms the bedrock of social work in the UK. This collected edition provides a trenchant critique of the McAllister Review, and essential reading for qualifying social workers. It also offers hope for future practice following a rights-oriented trajectory."" Lena Dominelli, University of Stirling"
