This new edition is essential reading for anyone concerned with improving child protection practice.

Building on the strengths of the previous editions, it provides a deeper understanding of how practice judgements and decisions can be improved in child protection work. This third edition starts with a new chapter that explains how complexity pervades child protection and offers a systemic approach as a way of dealing with it.

In 'The difficulties of assessing risk' more attention is given to formal risk instruments and, in particular to the growing interest in using predictive analytics to inform decision making. In 'Minimising Mistakes' a section has been added on learning from other sectors about safety culture and the work conditions that increase or decrease the risk of mistakes or poor practice.
