N2  - This book examines the way in which child welfare systems respond to the needs of families and children. Contemporary innovations in child protection are also analysed. Comparisons of child protection responses are made between New Zealand and other jurisdictions, such as Western European, North America and Australia. This book also describes the development of Family Group Conferences and how this strategy has shaped New Zealand's child protection system. The state response to children at risk and those children unable to live at home is highlighted. The impact on children, and how they view their care and protection experiences is also examined
