About this ebook
Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand witchcraft branding as a contemporary form of child abuse.
Witchcraft accusations against children are occurring ever more frequently in the UK yet continue to be underestimated by social work professionals. This concise book provides a personal narrative of witchcraft being used as a tool for the infliction of child abuse. The narrative is interspersed with reflective questions, practice dilemmas and relevant links to contemporary policy and practice in social work. Written in an accessible style, it gives an honest insider’s perspective of the unusual form of cruelty and abuse suffered by children in minority communities in the UK. For those embarking on or already in a career in social work, this book is an invaluable read.

1 rating1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The only book about witchcraft branding so far that focused on the child's perspective and told the story mostly in their voice. The co-author steps in to explain and interpret for social workers to learn from. While I wish there was more here, this is a valuable book because of this perspective.
