| Summary: | In Canada, professionals such as doctors, teachers, and social workers must report child abuse and neglect to Child Protection Services. Child Abuse and Neglect in Canada offers a concise guide to mandatory reporting in provincial and territorial jurisdictions with specific attention to the context and unique realities of northern Canada. The book opens with an exploration of the historical rise of the child welfare system, mandatory reporters's ethical duties around reporting, types of abuse and neglect, risk and protective factors (e.g., legal, clinical, and situational) to assist human service professionals with their decision-making, examine the reporting process, and offer relationship repair strategies (e.g., reporting, affect regulation, and advocacy). The text culminates in a comprehensive, empirically based conceptual framework to help readers maintain relationships with their clients. Predicated on the author's dissertation research, this book offers human service professionals a comprehensive framework for fulfilling professional, fiduciary obligations while providing educators with accessible teaching tools to advance their students' understanding of the subject--from back cover. |
