This article explores the recent establishment, practice delivery and initial evaluation of a Child in Need (CIN) reviewing service. The practice of reviewing is explored in detail. In particular, the role of genograms and ecomaps as tools to enhance preparation, participation and planning at CIN review meetings is discussed. There are always challenges and opportunities to the introduction of any service initiative and these are discussed; arresting case drift is one of them. The CIN reviewing service offers families and children a participatory social work model where their voices, views and wishes can be located in the social work plans that are essentially about them: plans where safeguarding children remain the focus.
