This is an absorbing and exciting read, during which safeguarding professionals will find themselves saying "that's exactly what's been worrying me" and "I've often wondered about that".
Apart from being comprehensive, detailed and well written, it addresses the core issue for professionals with responsibility for safeguarding children: assessing as accurately as possible the probability of a child being harmed. The authors are not prescriptive, but give a broad perspective of thinking about risk and the challenges of interpreting information gathered from and about children's lives.
The book is divided into a theoretical section, supported with relevant, contemporary illustrations, and an operational section, which provides examples of where theory has been implemented. It would serve as a good reference guide.
