About this title

Synopsis

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."
―Child Abuse Review

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.

Updates include:

• 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.

About the Author

Eileen Munro is Professor Emeritus of Social Policy at the London School of Economics.  She worked as a social worker for many years before turning to an academic career. Professor Munro has written extensively on how best to combine intuitive and analytic reasoning in child protection risk assessment and decision-making and also on the importance of understanding how systems’ factors influence workers’ actions. In 2011, she completed the Munro Review of the English Child Protection System conducting a systems analysis of the problems. She is currently working with philosophy colleagues on research methods for complex systems.
