N2  - This English book focuses on how child protection practices and procedures respond to children and families when there are concerns about children's welfare and evidence of parental substance misuse and domestic violence. Parents' views of the process are also explored. The book is aimed at professionals working for the welfare of children and those working with vulnerable adults and parents. The book is based on an empirical study of how well the 'Quality Protects' programme 'Protection from Significant Harm' was working for children and young people referred to children's social services in six English local authorities. Information was gathered from documentation including social work case files, a postal questionnaire of practitioners and a qualitative case study of 17 families (excluding children's views). The authors provide implications for policy and practice centred on the following areas: information sharing and collaborative working; management; direct work with children and families; plans, procedures and joint protocols; and training
