Back to the Present: Rethinking Risk Assessment in Child Welfare

Marilyn Callahan and Karen Swift

The question of “risk” and “risk assessment” in child welfare are explored in chapter 10. Callahan and Swift explain the managerial, medical, and legal influences that have fostered the development of the risk assessment measures that are now widely used in child welfare in Canada, the uk, the us, and Australia. They argue that these tools have not kept their promise of reducing workloads for child welfare workers or of increasing the safety of children.
