This study deals with the qualities of professionalization of public child welfare. Its relationto general social policy is emphasized. The potentials of welfarism are explored as a part ofthe study of crisis of legitimacy and rationality prevalent in welfare systems.The special situation of child welfare in Iceland with a large variation in local socialservices forms an important background of the work. This is related to sociologicaltheorizing and a position taken turns against viewing professionalization as an accumulatingprocess of power as well as the opposite, the blindness of belief in

Abstract:

We empirically explore the effect of attorney representation for foster care youth in abuse and neglect hearings on adoption outcomes. By exploiting temporal variation in the passage of state-level statutes that mandate all foster children have the right to representation, we find that child attorneys not only expedite the adoption process, but also improve upon the stability of these adoption matches. When exploring the determinants of child maltreatment, we exploit variation in the timing of state-level medical marijuana legalization to identify the effect of caretaker marijuana use on repor

Aboriginal, and in particular First Nations children, are overrepresented in the child welfare system across Canada.

As of 2018, approximately 442,995 children are in the foster care system in the United States according to the federal statistics from the Children’s Bureau. Entry into the foster system involves the removal of children from their home, making it a traumatic experience. The purpose of this study was to examine social workers’ perceptions of what trauma informed practice means and what it looks like in child welfare removals. The study also clarifies what trauma informed practice (TIP) is and how it can be applied in child welfare’s organizational structure. This was a qualitative study in whic

Abstract:

Social welfare is the product of the development of human society. Western countries began to build their own welfare systems in the late 19th century. Child welfare is also their focus. The child welfare system can affect the development trend of a country, and it is also directly related to the physical and psychological development of children, especially the orphans. After the United Nations promulgated the Convention on the Rights and Interests of the Child in 1989, governments of various countries have also actively improved their country's child welfare system under the framework of the

Abstract:

Children placed in foster care are at an increased risk for attachment difficulties due to the maltreatment they may have suffered, the separation from their primary caregivers, as well as the possibility of repeated moves to various foster homes. This raises questions as to the extent to which child welfare workers incorporate attachment theory in planning for children in care. Replicating a study originally conducted by R. K Grigsby (1994) in the United States of America, worker's use of attachment theory was examined through a review of a sample of 30 files belonging to children between the

On any given day almost 400,000 children in the United States are living in an out-of-home care placement due to government intervention. Federal law allows for substantial variance in state child welfare policy on a number of topics. These policy decisions, however, are understudied both in terms of the forces driving them and also the impacts the policies have on actual outcomes for children in care.

The purpose of this study was to identify salient factors contributing to the overrepresentation of African Americans in the child welfare system. This study seeks to examine whether or not public child welfare workers are biased in their assessments of African Americans, and if years of experience influence their judgment. By understanding some of the salient factors that contribute to these disproportionate numbers, Child Welfare Services can begin to revamp their programs and services to ensure that they are more culturally sensitive and equitable.
