A childs welfare and safety,
whether and if so how to provide help to children and family members and
What form of intervention will bring about the best possible outcomes for the child and what the intended outcomes of intervention are.

Answer 2

It depends on which branch of social work the service user requires. Different areas of law and different practice processes apply depending on whether the client comes under learning disabilities, older persons, mental health, or children and families.

Risk assessment is these days however key to all assessment. The actual interventions decided upon would depend on the level of risk, the client's needs and circumstances, the resources available, and to some (increasingly lesser) degree the style and preference of the practioner.
