Central to current thinking and embedded in policy guidance is the assumption that child protection work is fundamentally concerned with the identification of 'high risk'. As we argued in Chapter 2, the primary focus of research and the development of policy and practice since the early 1970s has been increasingly concerned with the development and refinement of policies, practices and technologies concerned with identifying 'high risk' and thereby differentiating and categorising cases. For, in theory, the identification of the actually or potentially 'high risk' individual or family provides the mechanism for ensuring that children are protected, unwarrantable interventions are avoided and scarce resources are allocated efficiently
