Edith Twyford was once a world-famous children's author, but now her only legacy is the rumoured existence of the Twyford Code: a series of clues hidden in her books leading to... what? No one knows - but that hasn't stopped the speculation. Steve Smith can trace nearly all the bad things in his life back to Edith Twyford. As a child he found one of her books, covered in strange symbols. He showed it to his teacher, Miss Iles, who was convinced it held the key to the code. Within weeks Miss Iles had disappeared, and Steve has no idea if she is dead or alive - or if she was right. Now he's determined to find out. But the Twyford Code hides secrets some would do anything to possess, and Steve isn't the only one on its trail. The race is on to solve the mystery of the century. Could you get there first?

Then she realised she didn't know him at allWhen everything seemed to be falling apart in Sophie's life, she was thankful for her friend Kas, who was always at the end of a phone, ready to listen and to offer comfort and advice.Her father's cold dislike of her and then her parents' divorce had left her with a deep distrust of men. But, gradually, Kas made her believe there was at least one man who truly cared about her.But she was wrong.At first when Sophie went to stay for a few days with Kas in Italy, he was kind and caring, as he'd always been. But three days after she arrived, everything changed.His eyes were cold as he described the things he expected her to do for love'. But soon Sophie's bewilderment turned to fear as he punched and shouted at her and threatened to kill her adored younger brothers if she didn't do exactly as she was toldto sell her body on the streets to pay off Kas's debts.Terrified of Kas, the police and the men whose pleasures she was forced to satisfy, Sophie worked seven nights a week for the next six months on the dark and lonely streets of a town in northern Italy.Subjected regularly to Kas's verbal, mental and physical abuse, she knew she would never escape.And then, one day, after she'd been admitted to hospital with stomach pains and knowing that Kas would kill her if he found out she dared to phone her mother.But who would reach her first?

Open University Press Dementia and Ethics Reconsidered

Open University Press Working with Denied Child Abuse The Resolutions
Book Synopsis How can professionals build constructive relationships with families where the parents dispute professional allegations of serious child abuse? How can meaningful safety for children be created in these families? How can professionals work together constructively in such cases?

These cases can consume enormous amounts of professional time and energy and frequently become bogged down by ongoing professional-family mistrust and dispute. Often, the decision to close such cases comes about not because the children are safe, but rather because the professionalsrun out of ideas, time and energy.Working with 'Denied' Child Abuse presents an innovative, safety-focused, partnership-based, model called Resolutions, which provides an alternative approach for responding rigourously and creatively to such caTable of ContentsIntroduction: Imagining Denial Differently Chapter One: Thinking about DenialChapter Two: Principles that Inform the Resolutions Approach Chapter Three: The Resolutions Model in OverviewChapter Four: Before the BeginningChapter Five: Engaging the Parents and Network: From Multiple Stories through to the Story for the ChildrenChapter Six: The Words and Pictures: Engaging and Involving the ChildrenChapter Seven: Broadening and Deepening the Network's Involvement; Extended Family, Friends and Workmates Chapter Eight: Family Safety PlanChapter Nine: Working in the Hypothetical: The Similar but Different FamilyChapter Ten: Finalizing the Family Safety Plan and Concluding the TreatmentChapter Eleven: Case example; a divorced couple in a situation of denied sexual abuseChapter Twelve: Implementing the Approach Chapter Thirteen: Conclusion
