520 _aThis research report analyses a sample of 52 case records, and interviews 12 social workers in the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services, New Zealand who experienced violent incidents that were officially reported to the Dangerous Situations Strategy (DSS) from 1996 to 2000. Social workers did experience a number of emotional responses that, if not dealt with constructively, had the potential for deleterious consequences for the social worker and quality of service delivery. The efficacy of the DSS as an organisational response to workplace violence is discussed and further refinements suggested. It is concluded that the DSS was the beginning of an appropriate organisational response to the pressing problem of workplace violence in the statutory social work services.--AUTHOR'S ABSTRACT
