Social Media and Child Welfare: Policy, Training, and the Risks and Benefits From the Administrator's Perspective
The field of public child welfare faces special challenges as it interweaves the use of social media into practice. Social media can assist agencies in meeting demands of practice such as communication, preservation of important family connections, identification of kin, and service coordination with caretakers and community partners. It also presents risks with respect to privacy, confidentiality, and safety. To look at the role of social media …

Managing Child Welfare in Turbulent Times

Some states have cut funding for social and health services at a time when demands for these services have increased. Agencies can use a variety of strategies to cope with the economic uncertainties. They can restrict intake criteria when fundi…

Poverty and Child Welfare, 101 Years Later
It has been 101 years since the first White House Conference on the Care of Dependent Children. Advocates were admonished to refrain from disrupting families simply because the families were poor. This basic instruction has proved difficult to implement. Public child welfare has become a system that primarily serves poor children and their families (Pelton, 1994). How well these families are served is open to debate. POVERTY AND CHILD WELFARE A r…
Supervisor Preferences for the Design and Delivery of Training
Although the consensus is that training for child protective services (CPS) supervisors is essential, there is an apparent gap in the literature about how the training should be delivered. Using interviews, focus groups, and a statewide survey, supervisors in Arizona identified how, when, and where they wanted training delivered and their reasons why. The preferred methods balance training within the responsibilities and time demands of the super…

Contemporary Policy Challenges for Indian Child Welfare
The federal policy context of the 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) has changed over thtitle last 25 years. We examine ways in which four recent federal policies may challenge or alter ICWA outcomes.

This may increase the removal rate of Indian children due to perceived child…

Poverty and Child Placement: A New/Old Idea
One result of the Republican victories in November 1994 is the suggestion that the children of the poor should be separated from their parents. The removal of children for no other reason than poverty is an old idea. The article examines the historical precedents of child placement, reviews the experience of the poorest group of Americans (Native Americans) and analyzes child placement through the lens of poverty. In addition, the role of the fed…
The Effectiveness of the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978
Since the 1970s, federal policy has emphasized the preservation of Indian land, culture, tribes, and families through self-determination legislation to empower and enhance culturally unique tribal communities. The 1978 Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) extended tribal self-determination policy to include child welfare and family preservation issues as a response to the large numbers of Indian children removed from their families and placed in non-I…
