Reviewing the Evidence on Assessing Risk for Child Abuse and Neglect
Della Knoke and Nico Trocme
Brief. Treatment and Crisis Intervention published 29 June 2005
[...] Structured risk assessment instruments are promoted to manage
increasing demands for child welfare services by providing a mechanism to
guide decision making regarding the type and intensity of services required
to protect children from subsequent harm. [...] However, risk assessment
models were frequently implemented with little empirical evaluation.[...] A
more systematic approach to the development and testing of risk assessment
instruments is required to support child welfare practice.
