Here we have a very handy protection kit dedicated ""To all the practitioners who run the risk"". The book is a series of essays that cover social work in all settings; child care, mental illness, drug use, offending and sex offending. The book opens with a helpful chapter on legal repurcussions and ends, appropriately, with one of the best contributions by Brian Littlechild on the risk of violence and aggression to staff...this is an excellent book and essential reading irrespective of the social climate.
