dc.description.abstractChild protection work requires professionals to manage the different perspec tives regarding intervention aims and strategies associated with different per sonal, academic and organisational backgrounds. Parenting assessment is a determinant task for intervention and for children’s future where universal or automatic criteria remain unavailable. This study aimed to explore and char acterise the existing agreement (and disagreement) between child protection workers on statements related to judgements on parenting. A total of 325 Por tuguese social workers participated in the study, mostly with a background in social work and psychology and more than six years of experience in child pro tection. Professionals were required to distribute 50 sentences in a scoring sheet (Q-sort methodology) with 11 points. The results were interpreted through the matrix of operationalisation of minimally adequate parenting. Three main answer strands revealed different focuses in sorts’ configurations: the child, the procedures and the child’s ecology. The clear difference between the factors could contribute to maintaining the child protection system as an adversarial one, and not as an effectively cooperative system. To promote team cohesive ness and intervention success, and to reinforce professionals’ wellbeing and resilience, metacommunication on parenting assessment criteria is proposed as a determinant strategy.pt_PT
