By Richard Devine, Andrew Turnell

Social work is a complex career - a hugely rewarding way to make a diﬀerence in people's lives, paired with an enormous responsibility to get it right. This (unoﬃcial) guide, grounded in the author's decade-long experience on the front line of child protection, explores the intersection between these points and how to handle the challenges of the job while celebrating its joys. Case studies and vignettes look into the realities of child protection from both perspectives, and what happens when what should happen doesn't match with what does.
