Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Child abuse is a complex subject and many health care workers and professionals such as teachers and social workers express anxiety regarding their involvement in cases of this nature. There is therefore a need to provide them with enough information to equip them to handle these cases from diagnosis through to giving evidence in court. Inappropriate management of cases of abuse can have serious implications. This book will provide readers of all levels of experience
to gain greater insight into their role within the process.
