Conducting Family Assessments : A Practice Guide

This manual should be of practical use to all those professionals involved in the assessment of family situations, including social workers, guradians ad litem, legal advocates, family centres, residential and foster carers, students and health personnel.

This photocopiable framework offers workers: a guide to the process of assessment; a structure which allows the worker to tailor the assessment to the family; scope to introduce new material and to exercise professional judgement on content and style; and guidance on the need to integrate the family assessment with other assessment pieces.
