Specializing in Child Abuse
Training and Resources
It is well known that in cases in which abused children have died, social workers and other professionals did not relate to them effectively.
Much less well understood is how often and why such invisibility occurs.
(Ferguson, 2016)
Standards of practice must guide how people actually practice – not how they are trained, not how they think about practice, not how they discuss practice, but what they actually do. Standards provide bounds for practice (Dawes, 1995).
