Various welfare services are explored, such as fostering and adoption services, residential care, and youth justice. Changes in legislation of New Zealand's history, aimed at protecting children from abuse and neglect, are also examined. The author discusses how there has been changes in government's and professionals' responses to child abuse and neglect, and how beliefs towards children's rights in society as a whole have transformed. Concern about child abuse increased from the 1970s, with a prolific rise in the number of investigations by the Department of Social Welfare in the 1980s. The sexual abuse of children also came to public consciousness in the 1980s, culminating in new child welfare policies and multi-disciplinary child abuse investigation teams. Case studies are employed throughout the book to illustrate the impact of child welfare policies and practices on children and families.
