Advancing social work research and practice: celebrating ten years of the Decisions, Assessment and Risk Special Interest Group (DARSIG)
This article commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Decisions, Assessment and Risk Special Interest Group (DARSIG), established under the umbrella of the European Social Work Research Association in 2014. We reflect on developments in DARSIG in the context of advancements in practice, service management, theory, collaborative research and teaching on decision making, assessment and risk. We conclude that DARSIG provides a mechanism for further advancing social work research and teaching across Europe.
