By Eileen Munro

Praise for the First Edition
"The book makes the fully justified claim that] it will be essential reading for professionals undergoing qualifying and post-qualifying training. It is to be hoped that it will enjoy an even wider readership."

This new edition is essential reading for anyone concerned with improving child protection practice. Building on the strengths of the First Edition, it provides a deeper understanding of how practice judgments and decisions can be improved in child protection work.

An account of how intuition, emotion, and analytic thinking are combined in practice An analysis of how the nature of the task determines what combination is needed An updated chapter on how we can detect errors New material on how organizations can promote good reasoning skills A simpler way to understand risk assessment instruments Illustrated with detailed case studies throughout, it will be invaluable reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in all areas of child protection, including social work, education, health, and policing.
