ABSTRACT
Individual interviews with other involved professionals from health, education, social services and justice agencies may be conducted to obtain their expert views of risks and resources within the family and their potential future involvement in supporting the family, protecting the child or providing services. Interviews with other people in community-based resource settings may be conducted to obtain information relevant to the case and the protection plan. These people may include the foster parents with whom the child is temporarily based, home-helpers, befrienders, leaders of mother and toddler groups and nursery or day-care facility staff.
