Abstract
Government and other agencies are committed to the provision of services to support vulnerable families to reduce child maltreatment and to address the harmful consequences of abuse and neglect. In a climate of resource scarcity -there are never enough resources or funds to meet all of the community’s expectations - service choices need to reflect evidence about what works and what is ‘value for money’. Put simply, investing in services that yield more benefit per unit cost, at the expense of those that yield fewer benefit per unit cost, will increase societal benefits and in this context most effectively protect our children.
