Summary Eradicating Child Maltreatment outlines a range of new approaches to child protection which have been proven effective. In this authoritative volume, leading international figures in child protection present evidence-based approaches and systems addressing the problem of child maltreatment across social work, health care and education. Drawing together what is known about the incidence of child maltreatment and the impact of professional intervention across a number of developed countries, this book examines how effective preventative strategies are and makes a strong case for a 'public health' approach to combating child maltreatment. The editors assess how far we have succeeded in eradicating child maltreatment and make recommendations for policy and practice. This important book will be essential reading for social workers, policy makers, child protection service workers, commissioners and managers across child and family welfare services, as well as researchers and academics in the field internationally
