This work is intended for frontline workers and managers involved in child care work, especially social workers, guardians ad litem, education welfare officers, teachers, probation officers, senior nursing officers, doctors, health visitors and police officers working in juvenile offices or special assessment teams. It is also relevant for child care solicitors based in the local authority or private practice.
