Notes:	"February 2004" See also: Violence, threats and intimidation in the lives of professionals whose work involves child protection [report]:on our Research & Resources database. Summarises the aims, methodology and findings of a report funded by the Criminology Research Council which investigated the incidence and impact of threats, violence and intimidation in the lives of professionals working in a child protection context. Results of the study suggest a large proportion of professionals engaged in the provision of human services suffer some degree of emotional exhaustion or burnout and that the risk of violence increases where these persons are directly involved in child protection. A range of other factors potentially contributing to the risk of exposure to violence, intimidation and threats, such as age, gender and length of work experience, are also considered. The significance of the findings for future research and child protection policy and practice is highlighted.
