The NSPCC’s Impact and Evidence series features key learning from an evaluation of the Assessing the Risk, Protecting the Child (ARPC) service for families of men who pose a sexual risk to children to assess their safety, and help professionals make decisions about actions needed to protect them. ARPC was delivered at nine NSPCC service centres from 2011-16 and findings from the evaluation include: the children’s protective parents and carers felt the assessment process had given them a better understanding of the potential risks to their child and had made them more able to take action to protect them; the professionals who referred families felt that the assessment reports were high quality and gave them a detailed understanding of the risks posed by the man being assessed.
