N2  - The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation of a section in the Danish Social Assistance Act which encourages local authorities to offer families services in order to support children at risk of child maltreatment. The specific purpose of the present paper is to answer the question: Will the socio-psychological development of children known to social services be improved when abuse and neglect are reduced?<p />
