In this paper, partnerships between parents/carers, children and professionals within child protection social work are critically assessed in relation to Beck’s (1992 ) concept of the ‘risk society’. Partnerships within core groups provide the specific focus for this paper, as in the authors’ view these groups provide particular opportunities for the development of partnerships between professionals, parents/carers and children. In the risk society new dangers and risks are constantly being created and (re)discovered, the status of professional and lay expertise is questioned and professional judgement is often mediated through discourses of risk. In this environment reflexivity becomes an essential element of professional practice. Two case studies of child protection are used to link theory and practice, and to raise questions for professional practice in core groups
