This paper describes the contribution of an occupational therapist to a comprehensive assessment programme for families with physically abused children. Initially, a brief outline of the entire programme is set out. In the light of this, an approach to residential family assessment, pioneered by occupational therapy in the West Norfolk and Wisbech health district, is described in detail.
