Product Description

Product Description

How can professionals build constructive relationships with families where the parents dispute professional allegations of serious child abuse? How can meaningful safety for children be created in these families? How can professionals work together constructively in such cases? Situations where parents refute child abuse allegations made against them are often deemed to be impossible or untreatable by statutory and treatment professionals. These cases can consume enormous amounts of professional time and energy and frequently become bogged down by ongoing professional-family mistrust and dispute. Often, the decision to close such cases comes about not because the children are safe, but rather because the professionals run out of ideas, time and energy. "Working with 'Denied' Child Abuse" presents an innovative, safety-focused, partnership-based, model called Resolutions, which provides an alternative approach for responding rigorously and creatively to such cases. It describes each stage of this practical model and demonstrates the approach through many case examples from therapists, statutory social workers and other professionals working in Europe, North America and Australasia. The book is key reading for legal, health and social care professionals working in the area of child protection.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRULY THE WAY FORWARD, 11 Mar 2007
By Susan "The Wise Woman" (Stadium of Light) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Working with Denied Child Abuse: The Resolutions Approach (Paperback)
I bought this book after recently attending a conference about "denied" child abuse, Andrew Turnell and Peter Dale were the speakers, and I thought they were both rather wise and marvellous, so I bought their books.
As someone working in the frequently exploding minefield that is child protection, I found this book to be an inspiring and compelling read. The book has given me a whole new perspective, as it challenges conventional (and often quite scary) ways of working with these complex cases.
There are frankly too many thought provoking and head nodding moments to mention, but the idea that you don't necessarily need a'confession' to engage and work effectively with the likely abusing carer really stood out for me. Using the resolutions approach, Turnell and English advocate "stopping the abuse, not (necessarily) the family", by developing and implementing a rigourous safety plan around the child and creating a safety network, including involving the child and other family members using words and pictures.
This is practice based evidence, and in the areas where this resolutions approach has been used, the reabuse rates and numbers of children in the LAC system are low.
I would urge anyone working in the child protection arena to read this book and then forcibly encourage their colleagues to read it by whatever means necessary, because adopting this way of working can only improve outcomes for vulnerable children and their families. This could well be the way forward in child protection, god knows we need it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gold Standard That Can be Achieved, 22 Jan 2008
By M. T. Allenby (Northampton, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Working with Denied Child Abuse: The Resolutions Approach (Paperback)
I came to this book already having heard Andrew Turnell speak and having read 'Signs of Safety.' The authors set out to present a straightforward model of working with alleged child abuse (mainly sexual abuse and physical injury in infancy) that is respectful to both the parents/carers and the child care professionals who have concerns for the child.

Having said that the approach is straightforward (possibly even simple) this should not be confused with easy. To use the approaches in the book you will need massive amounts of professional integrity and personal resilience, you will need time and courage to go as fast as the family safely can (no slower, no faster), and the wisdom of Solomon to make judgements that can literally be life and death. However, if you are thinking of reading this book you are probably already in that position and this book will help you do it better.

For anyone working in child protection I would strongly recommend this book, perhaps with a rider that you make your line manager read it as soon as you have finished it (or get them to buy their own copy and read it alongside you).
