Abstract

The three systems, the CANTS 17B model, the Washington Assessment Risk Matrix (WARM) and the Child at Risk Field System (CARF), are used in assessing the degree to which the children are at a risk of being ill-treated and evaded in the future. The CANTS 17B model gives certain principles for backing organized decisions, thereby making subsequent and stable assessments possible. The WARM model aids in planning services in situations that involve high risks, and the CARF is used to reduce risk and provide security. The three models have certain weaknesses in terms of reliability, validity, implementation and in requiring trained staff.
