Beskrivning
The companion volume to Good Practice in Risk Assessment 1 looks at further issues in the field of risk assessment. Managers are under increasing pressure to predict risk accurately, and face serious consequences for failure. This new collection explores the arguments and means of assessment in a clear and accessible manner and with a practice-based emphasis. The contributors consider subjects as varied as child adoption, violence, mental health, alcohol and suicide in a wide range of social care settings, all linked by the difficulty of accurately assessing risk.

Recensioner i media

A comprehensive overview of practice issues... [The] chapters are well-written and informed with arguments well supported by pertinent case study material. The book will prove a useful tool to those working with risk in providing practical strategies for effective intervention and, in some chapters, accessible exercises for use in staff development and training. The contributors are to be commended for providing a balanced perspective and seeking to challenge the pervasive negative connotations typically applied to risk behaviours. [The editors] have succeeded in producing a well written text which deals with issues and dilemmas related to risk in a clear and forthright manner. Social workers, and their managers will benefit from the objective stance provided in an increasingly prioritized and significant area of influence on practice.
