| dc.description.notes | This UK book looks at the different areas of knowledge and practice for an integrated approach to domestic violence and child protection, and is divided into 4 parts. The first part defines the issues and sets the background and evidence for multi-agency and multidisciplinary practice. Part 2 covers children’s needs and initiatives in the UK addressing these needs. Part 3 looks at the protection of women and children through service responses and legal systems including contributions from the UK and Australia. The last part addresses the work with perpetrators, such as risk assessment and safety planning in child protection and assessment of perpetrators; the examination of whether perpetrators are good enough fathers and the need for an integrated child perspective in treatment work with men. The book is aimed at a range of readers including practitioners, policy makers, academics and students. The Chapter contents include the following.<br/ ><br/ >Chapter 1 is by Cathy Humphreys, which gives an overview of the evidence base developed in the past 10 years. It looks at issues of post separation violence and the effects of domestic violence on children, as well as their association with mothers’ mental health needs and substance misuse. It also considers the longer term impact of domestic violence on mother-child relationships and the role of resilience. Chapter 2, written by Nicky Stanley and Cathy Humphreys, focuses on the service response to the issues of domestic violence and child protection and covers the factors that shape multi-agency work.<br/ ><br/ >Chapter 3 is by Audrey Mullender, and presents children’s own accounts and experiences. It highlights children’s needs and the importance of children’s resilience and the need for prevention programmes. Chapter 4 is by Jane Ellis, Nicky Stanley and Jo Bell, and outlines prevention programmes in schools and youth centres. Chapter 5, written by Claire Houghton, presents a Scottish campaign conducted by the voluntary sector which is based on children’s voices and experiences through to the processes of policy and service development in domestic violence.<br/ ><br/ >Chapter 6 by Marianne Hester, discusses how practitioners can include routine questions to assess the issue of domestic violence. Chapter 7 by Jan Breckenridge and Claire Ralf, describes work in Australia as guidance for practitioners in front-line settings with initial response to domestic violence. Chapter 8 is written by Elaine Farmer and looks at research conducted in the statutory sector that shows how the effects of domestic violence can be marginalised. Chapter 9 by Christine Harrison, describes the relevance of child protection to child contact arrangements and examines whether and how contact centres function in protecting children. Chapter 10 is by Thea Brown, which explores private law in the Australian context. It examines the legal process when allegations of abuse are raised in the context of divorce. It also describes the effectiveness of new models of intervention being trialled and evaluated in Australia and Canada.<br/ ><br/ >Chapter 11 by Lorraine Radford, Neil Blacklock and Kate Iwi from the West London Domestic Violence Intervention Project (DVIP) presents an approach on assessing the risks to women and children by violent men. Chapter 12 is written by Marius Rakil and discusses the work of Alternative to Violence (ATV) based in Oslo, which offers services to men, women and children and adolescents with problems with violence. It describes a service for men who are fathers to enable them to address the effects of living with violence and abuse on their children. The last chapter 13, by Brian Littlechild and Caroline Bourke, explores how strategies of power and control used by perpetrators can also shape their relationships with child protection workers and limit the professional’s capacity to protect women and children. | en |
