To review and evaluate published research on the occurrence, nature, and consequences of work-related violence directed at child and family social workers.

Identified and synthesized findings from seven relevant studies (N=7).
Verbal aggression and threats occurred frequently, posed the greatest identification and management challenges, and had the most detrimental impact on workers.
Physical assaults were reported to be comparatively rare across child and family social work settings.
Violence consistently influenced staff well-being and practice, while simultaneously prompting organizations to develop new safety policies and training programs.
