Cover Story: This study was the first to address how the responsivity principle of the risk–need–responsivity model is of value in child protection. This principle states that treatment must be tailored to the individual characteristics of clients to optimize its effectiveness. A systematic review of responsivity factors in forensic care was performed, after which the clinical relevance of each factor (e.g., treatment motivation, psychological problems, and practical barriers to treatment) in child protection was examined in interviews with clinical professionals. The professionals also provided suggestions on how treatment can be tailored to each of these factors. The results of this study support child protection practitioners in personalizing treatment, by highlighting what responsivity factors that may interfere with treatment success can be identified and addressed in clinical practice.
