Child protection has failed our abused and neglected children. Increasing numbers of families come under the scrutiny of child protection services, yet few receive the help they need. We know that removing children at risk is usually a poor solution, but what can welfare workers do instead? St Luke's Family Care, a leading Australian child welfare agency, has developed a way of working with families whose children have been abused or neglected. Beyond Child Rescue shows how their skilful staff work with 'hard to reach' families to build on their strengths and enable them to retain their children and ensure their well-being. With detailed case studies and background material, Beyond Child Rescue is a valuable guide to innovative family-centred practice in child protection. Di O'Neil is Director of Client Services at St Luke's Family Care and Dorothy Scott is from the Children, Young People and Families Research Unit in the School of Social Work at the University of Melbourne. Beyond Child Rescue is a very useful book that contributes much to practitioners and administrators as well as students and teachers in child and family welfare
