Abstract:
Child Welfare agencies across the developed world have experienced an past twenty years or so. Almost all these changes have occurred under the heading of "Child Protection", a quite distinctive and identifiable way of doing child welfare work which comes complete with a n ideology of childhood, a set of professional procedures and practices based on beliefs about a phenomenon entitled "child abuse" and a new social work vocabulary embedded in a discourse which is only very rarely questioned.
