Foreword

Donald Forrester

Shortly after being asked to write this foreword I had an unconnected conversation with a senior academic. She was telling me she had just been asked to teach a module on assessment for social workers at short notice, and was a bit stressed about it. Thank goodness for the book by Dalzell and Sawyer, she went on to say unprompted by me and unaware that I was to write this foreword it covers everything you need to know, structures it brilliantly and combines reviews of the evidence, case examples and other exercises to make it all accessible. Its just brilliant. Thank goodness for my anonymous colleague, I am inclined to echo, as she has more or less written my foreword for me: for it is just these qualities that make me so pleased to write an introduction for this excellent text.

Assessment is at the heart of social work. Yet it is an incredibly difficult area to deal with, both in practice and in theory. When I left practice I felt that I was pretty good at assessing children and families. Yet several years of studying including a PhD looking at risk assessment - left me increasingly confused rather than enlightened. Many of the best research and theorising on risk assessment seemed to suggest that it was in effect impossible or that what social workers were doing when they appeared to be trying to assess risk was something else (for instance, making value judgements). Such theories are potentially helpful contributions they highlight the key role of individual and social values in assessment and put a spotlight on important challenges for risk assessment (for instance, we cannot accurately predict the future and in that context how can we feel confident in our assessments of risk?). Yet on their own they provide precious little help for workers who actually have to undertake a risk assessment.
