The feedback has focused on the success of the programmes in opening up the world of child protection and giving a realistic insight into the challenges and dilemmas faced by social workers across the country."

“What an excellent programme "protecting Our Children" was. Made me see the work of social workers in a totally different way.
I suggest some history lessons for That_Guy as I think he will find that the facists were a little more extreme that the Social Workers, whatever he may think of them.”
