Description
In Harm's Way: A Child Protection Lawyer's Story Teresa Thornhill's memoir offers a hard-hitting account of her work in the Family Court, where life-changing decisions about the most vulnerable children in England and Wales are made behind closed doors. With unflinching honesty, she conveys the dilemmas inherent in her job and exposes the challenges facing the under-resourced child protection system. Thornhill's experiences represent the complexities of the system, where parents are often left to navigate a flawed system that fails to provide adequate support. This book provides a refreshingly honest account of the issues facing child protection, and the need for reform. Hard-hitting and thought-provoking, In Harm's Way is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the inner workings of the Family Court and the challenges faced by those working to protect the most vulnerable children.
