“…The assessment of vulnerable children and families in other areas of community nursing and social care practice is well researched, and arguments regarding the relative importance of subjective and objective risk assessment are made (Adams 2005;Appleton and Cowley 2004;Feng and Levin 2005;Fleming et al 2009;Fraser et al 2009;Hogg et al 2012;Lewin and Herron 2007;Taylor et al 2007). Of these primary research studies, three tested an objective measurement tool and practitioners' intentions to report maltreatment (Fleming et al 2009;Fraser et al 2009;Hogg et al 2012). Although the majority of practitioners used tools to contribute to an assessment most used a holistic approach overall and were influenced by intuition, professional experience, emotions and the environment in which they worked.…”

“…The assessment of risk in the protection of children from maltreatment remains a debated issue in health, education and social care (Adams 2005;Akehurst 2015;Appleton and Cowley 2004;Lewin and Herron 2007;Powell 2003;Taylor et al 2007). The often subjective nature of risk assessment, and debates regarding the reliability of objective measurements of vulnerability to harm, makes this a complex topic interwoven with aspects of culture, psychology and professional practice (Feng and Levin 2005;Fleming et al 2009;Fraser et al 2009;Hogg et al 2012).…”

“…Another UK study found that an 'inverse intervention law' seemed to be operating, where poor children in neighbourhoods surrounded by a larger less deprived neighbourhood were much more likely to have contact with the child protection system than equally deprived children surrounded by a highly deprived neighbourhood (Bywaters et al 2015). Others point out that decisions to notify, substantiate and investigate child abuse can be shaped by multiple factors such as the values and beliefs of the social worker, experience, role type, perceptions of risk, available resources and professional or institutional cultures (Bywaters et al 2018;Davidson-Arad and Benbenishty 2016;Fallon et al 2013;Fleming et al 2014;Fluke et al 2016;Keddell 2014Keddell , 2016. Variations in specific ethnic groups' contact rates can be particularly affected by both bias and service factors.…”

“…In addition to the previously mentioned limitations of decisionmaking in child protection cases, several studies have indicated differences in decision-making between different groups of professionals (Britner & Mossler, 2002;Fleming, Biggart, & Beckett, 2015;Summers, Gatowski, & Dobbin, 2012). For example, a previous study revealed differences between social workers and judges with respect to the information they used to determine whether an out-of-home placement would be necessary: Social workers focused more on the severity of the abuse and the outcome of previous care than judges, who focused more on the likelihood that child maltreatment would reoccur and whether the child would be able to recount being abused (Britner & Mossler, 2002).…”

Another study indicated that risk assessments about child maltreatment differed between experienced professionals and students, with students estimating higher risks than professionals (Fleming et al, 2015). However, not all studies report differences between students and experienced professionals.…”
