Abstract
Good practitioners are uncomfortable about so much of the child protection agenda. But the bandwagon rolls on and the procedures manual gets fatter and fatter. And the good practitioners leave in their droves, frustrated, burnt out, but often without the language or the conceptual knowledge to challenge the very premise upon which the whole ‘child protection’ edifice is built. (Smith, 2003, p. 2)
