New TV programme on child protection

This one is a gift for anyone studying any aspect of child protection.

Tonight (Monday 31st January) is the first part of a three part series following a newly qualified social worker in her day to day activities. It's on BBC 2 at 9pm, but if this post doesn't reach you in time then you've always got BBC's iplayer as back up. There's some information on what the show contains (and how it got made at all) on the BBC website.

If you want to reference the programme in the future then ask me and I'll explain the format.

Let's hope the show is sympathetic to those who have to make tough decisions concerning children and families.

Referencing a TV programme.

Several students have contacted me after watching the Future State of Welfare with John Humphreys.

Firstly, I'm glad it was useful. This post addresses how to reference the programme in an essay.

This link here will take you to the referencing guidelines for film and TV programmes. Just copy the format for TV programmes and you'll be fine. Just remember that you need a mixture of references (books, e-books, journals etc) to write a good piece of work.

And if you missed the programme when it was first broadcast remember you can still watch it on BBC's iplayer until November 3rd.
