Description
Using both historical and contemporary contexts, The Child Welfare Challenge examines major policy practice and research issues as they jointly shape child welfare practice and its future. This text focuses on families and children whose primary recourse to services has been through publicly funded child welfare agencies, and considers historical areas of service--foster care and adoptions, in-home family-centered services, child-protective services, and residential services--where social work has an important role. This fourth edition features new content on child maltreatment and prevention that is inspired by key conceptual frameworks, such as the World Health Organization social determinants of health paradigm, the CDC prevention taxonomy, and a protective factors ecological diagram published by the U.S. Children's Bureau. This edition uses cross-sector data and more sophisticated predictive and other analytical processes to enhancing planning and practice design. The authors have streamlined content on child protective services (CPS) to allow for new chapters on juvenile justice/cross-over youth, and international innovations, as well as more content on biology and brain science. The fourth edition includes a glossary of terms as well as a companion website with instructor resources and pdfs of the book's appendices.
