Synopsis

The assessment of risk to children from their own families is one of the most sensitive and difficult tasks faced by social workers. The Department of Health commissioned the NSPCC to find ways of feeding research evidence into day-to-day social work practice. The pack includes a separate booklet, "Ten pitfalls and how to avoid them", which summarizes the main research findings and takes social workers through the stages of the crucial first interview with a family when an allegation of abuse or neglect has been made. Also included is a chart helping with information collection at referral stage. This publication is aimed at social workers new to child protection, their managers and social work students.
