Previous edition: 2019.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This third edition guides you through the principles of good writing and methodically shows you: how to analyse; how to structure the process of writing an assessment (researching, chronologising, informed data-gathering, putting it all together); how to get this done under time constraints; explores the practical and psychological barriers to good practice; and looks at how you turn good analysis into useful reccomendations. This new edition features brand new content, on subjects such as decision-making and cognitive fallacies in assessment, how to conduct analysis on domestic violence and systematic thinking and reflexivity in assessment. There are also updates on MCA assessments and any new legislation and documents.
