It directly addresses a core issue-the relationship between intuition and formal analytic thinking in decision-making and practice. Effective child protection practice requires both, and Munro provides a framework that facilitates clear thinking in the complex real world of child protection practice. It is very well written, stimulating and accessible′ - Professor Ian O′Connor, University of Queensland      `The definition of ′good child care social work′ has been a contested one for several centuries. Enduring political and moral pressures have often obscured our understanding of what is helpful for children and their families; and have constrained the development of sound professional practice. Eileen Munro ′s book performs a very valuable service in examining the context, purposes and operational requirements of effective child protection. Her analysis transcends short term panic-led  responses and restores a welcome sense of proportion to the challenges involved in promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children. Social workers will find in this book, a range of reasoned, research based, and realistic pointers to good professional practice, set in a wide-ranging social and historical context.

The birth of Eileen's son, Craig, and her escape from the authorities' clutches should have seen her turn a corner, but she remains haunted by the spectre of her past. In \"If I Should Die Before I Wake\", Eileen chronicles her search for her real parents and her battle for an education for both Craig and herself. She faces exploitation, suffers further sexual and physical abuse, and endures periods of homelessness and bad health. Still she perseveres, clinging to her hopes for the future, until she eventually finds the sense of belonging that has previously eluded her. In this harrowing but ultimately inspirational second volume of memoir, Eileen Munro proves that, against all the odds, happiness does sometimes come to those who never give up hope.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49548469600529,"sku":"GOR002890194","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49667095691537,"sku":"GOR003187959","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53439331991825,"sku":"GOR010392829","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1845966163.jpg?v=1751432622"},{"product_id":"understanding-social-work-book-eileen-munro-9780485121346","title":"Understanding Social Work","description":"In recent years, social workers have felt under increasing attack from the media and from a management style which has eroded their autonomy. Confidence in the profession's skill and knowledge has been generally undermined. This text shows how social workders can use scientific methods to help them withstand their critics by developing a more open and accountable way of working. It refutes the view that social work relies mainly on personal skills of empathy and intuition, and demonstrates how the standard methods of science can help the profession develop a more explicit and reliable set of knowledge and skills, with the intention of providing a more effective service.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567300944145,"sku":"GOR008550941","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49612004163857,"sku":"GOR003203492","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0485121344.jpg?v=1751229814"},{"product_id":"effective-child-protection-book-eileen-munro-9781526464743","title":"Effective Child Protection","description":"Eileen Munro, author of the seminal Munro Review, returns in this fully revised and updated third edition.
