Contents:
Emergency powers for child protection -- The development of emergency powers -- The police, child protection and police protection -- Working together? : the police, social services and police protection -- Children, families and applications for emergency protection orders -- Local authority decisions to seek emergency protection -- Court process in emergency protection cases -- The EPO and afterwards -- Emergency intervention : reassessment and reform.
Review: "Protecting Powers provides a critical account of current practice in emergency child protection, identifying good practice and including proposals for reform. Using data from two major empirical studies, funded jointly by the NSPCC and the Nuffield Foundation, the book explores the operation of emergency child protection provisions. These studies provide a rich account of practice from the perspectives of a wide range of professionals working to protect children, including police officers, social workers, child care lawyers, magistrates' legal advisers and magistrates. The broader questions of professional accountability and the limited ability of the courts to safeguard rights are also discussed."--Jacket.
