Abstract
A social work assessment is an analysis of the ways in which the various elements of a problematic social situation interconnect. This analysis enables us to identify the most appropriate targets for, and levels of, intervention. It also enables us to specify the roles which we, and others, will play, and the most appropriate time-scales in which the various parts of our intervention can be undertaken.
