Rezensionen

"Creating Safer Organisations is a wonderfully hands-on,
functional guide that not only raises awareness of the issue of
organisational abuse but provides an empirical framework to the
media-focused discourse on this topic." (NOTA News,
March 2013)

"This is where organisations should head immediately for guidance
on safer recruitment, organisational planning and the safe use of
space... Creating Safer Organisations offers a firm, accessible and
engagine platform on which further work can build."
(Journal of Sexual Aggression, March 2013)

"The book flows well from topic to topic and there is a good
use of examples. It provides an overview of the literature and
research in each area it covers and weaves the outcomes together to
create a holistic view of how children are either protected or put
at risk by current practices. However, the real strength and
value of the book to professionals is the evidence-based way it
provides practical advice on creating safer
organisations." (Child and Adolescent Mental
Health, 1 September 2013)
