The Development of Child Protection Systems and Practice in Low- to Middle-Income Countries cover

Child Protection systems across the globe are developing at pace, each reflecting their unique economic, social and cultural contexts.

This book provides an overview of 11 child protection systems from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and discusses the formal and informal responses countries are making to the shared problem of child abuse and maltreatment. Within each chapter, vignettes give readers a window into how each country’s child protection system operates in practice.

This is essential reading for academics, social work professionals and anybody working within child and family welfare.

“This is a valuable book and makes a real and distinctive contribution to the growing literature on comparative child protection studies.” Nigel Parton, University of Huddersfield
