'Different, fresh and arresting. What Harry Ferguson does better than anyone else is capture the actualité of front-line child protection work. The book is so unlike any other in the busy market place of child protection books, it should have no difficulty sticking its head above the crowd. It is utterly distinct in terms of its willingness and ability to talk about the job in terms of how it looks, feels, smells and sounds as practitioners move between office, car and home.'
- David Howe, Professor Emeritus, School of Social Work and Psychology, University of East Anglia, UK
"I was very impressed by this book. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that it includes some of the most interesting and original writing about social work and child protection I have seen. It is a strength of the book that the author is prepared to set out his own position on the line. This makes it enjoyable, stimulating and challenging to read."
- Chris Beckett, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, University of East Anglia, UK
"Harry Ferguson brings to life the embodied experience of child protection work. Combining historical research with contemporary accounts of frontline practice, Ferguson urges us to understand child protection work as a highly skilled and embodied practice, and offers powerful insights into the complex nature of authority, relationship building and decision-making. This book should be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the challenges facing child protection workers today, and what is needed to create the conditions for better child protection practice."
- Karen Healy, Professor, School of Social Work and Human Services, The University of Queensland, Australia
"a 'must read'... This book offers a unique perspective on child protection that engages the reader in an immediate, honest and compelling fashion."
- Gillian Ruch, Division of Social Work Studies, University of Southampton
'As might be expected from a leading social work academic and author, this book makes a significant contribution to the child protection literature. It should be read by all social work students as well as practitioners working in this challenging field and every social work office should have a copy.'

'The book is well written and thought-provoking, sympathetically capturing the essence of front-line child protection work...This highly original and stimulating book is a breath of fresh air, recommended not just for front-line practitioners but for all those who manage, train, support and appraise them.' - Catherine Webley, Nagalro-Children Seen and Heard
'... a most challenging and thought provoking volume."
- Abul Khan, Children Australia
Utterly distinct in portraying the reality of how the job looks, feels, smells and sounds as practitioners move between office, car and home. (Professor David Howe, author of Child Abuse and Neglect: Attachment, Development and Intervention)
