N2  - This paper considers some of the implications of the model of child risk protection screening developed in the paper "The Underlying Instability in Statutory Child Protection: Understanding the System Dynamics Driving Risk Assurance Levels" (Mansell, 2006). It explores how the volatility of the threshold for intervention might be stabilised given the underlying system dynamics. An argument is presented for increased transparency concerning the range of decision outcomes and feedback about risk-screening performance, and suggestions are made on how this might be accomplished. The author concludes that true and enduring change will only be accomplished where the dynamics underlying the problem are well understood and addressed as part of that change
