It takes a village to protect a child
Hendrick, Antonia
It takes a village to protect a child In: Protecting the public - enhancing the profession | E tiaki ana i te Hapoori - E manaaki ana i ngā mahi : edited proceedings from the Social Workers Registration Board Conference 2013, (p. 15-25) / Jan Duke, Mark Henrickson and Liz Beddoe (editors) Antonia Hendrick and Sue Young - Wellington, N.Z. : Social Workers Registration Board, 2013 - electronic document (146 pages); PDF file: 1.93 MB; epub version available
"This article presents a case for taking a concerted community approach to protecting children. It does this through acknowledging that: child protection is indeed ‘everyone’s business’ (Landgren, 2005) and extending this into promoting a collective response rather than relying solely on child protection authorities to work with individual families; revisiting the ‘best interests’ criterion of child rights in protecting children; reiterating the argument (Young, McKenzie, Omre, Schjelderup, & Walker, 2014) for a much more nuanced understanding of, and response to, keeping children safe; and presenting some descriptions and analyses of community approaches to protecting children."
