This article outlines a team approach that has been created by the author to work therapeutically with families under statutory investigation for intrafamilial child abuse. It was devised for use by protective workers responsible for intervention with adolescents at risk and their families. This approach has been used successfully to combine the dual roles of child protection and family support in the context of statutory intervention.
