Safeguarding Children Across Services: Messages from Research brings together a wideranging body of government-funded research on safeguarding children from neglect and abuse in England and Wales. It provides a succinct Overview of 15 research projects and highlights the main implications for all professionals and policymakers involved in the safeguarding process. For many years non-technical summaries of research programmes and initiatives in children’s social care, funded by the Department of Health and the Department for Education, have been produced. The intention is to make the messages of research useful and intelligible to practitioners, clinicians, service providers and policymakers. There is a distinctive process through which these Overviews are developed. They are written by academic experts with the support of an outside advisory and implementation group, consisting of clinicians, practitioners, managers and others with expertise in the subject area. Each Overview incorporates the comments of practitioners, clinicians and policymakers on the projects and on the draft text. Each Overview also tries to ensure that the individual researchers agree with the synthesis produced, although the writers have the responsibility of drawing out the messages that they think are warranted by the research.
