Exploring child welfare pathways and dual system involvement
Comparing Maltreatment Experiences for Young People with Child Protection or Dual System Involvement
This study examined how single and multiple types of maltreatment allegations differed for young people with child protective services (CPS) only and dual system (i.e., CPS and juvenile delinquency court petition) involvement by gender and race and ethnicity. Allegation types were documented for young people with CPS only or dual system involvement using linked CPS and Probation records for Los Angeles County for a cohort of children born between…
Qualitative exploration of child welfare workers’ decision-making experiences and perspectives on fairness
Assessing and responding to risks to children's safety is a primary concern of the child protection system (CPS), and decision-support tools have been developed to assist child welfare workers (CWW). Yet, a limited understanding of CWWs' decision-making experiences impedes our efforts to effectively support them. This qualitative study examines the unique characteristics of decision-making in CPS through focus groups involving CWWs from an agency…
Characterising academically At‐Risk students using vital birth records
We applied a child‐focused, longitudinal approach to characterising academically at‐risk elementary school students using linked birth and educational records. Following a statewide cohort of children born in California in public school records through grade 5 ( n = 722 072) to document identification as a homeless, foster and/or special education (i.e. academically at‐risk) student, we found that one in every six students were classified as acad…
Strategies for constructing household and family units with linked administrative records
Child protection involvement among homeless families
Linked administrative records were leveraged to characterize the demographics, prevalence and timing of child protection system (CPS) involvement of families receiving services from a homeless services agency in Los Angeles County, California between 2013 and 2016. Results revealed that nearly two-thirds of families seeking homeless services between 2013 and 2016 had concurrent or historical CPS involvement. Given that CPS involvement most often …

Strategies for improving child welfare services for families of color
Using Child and Family Indicators to Influence Communities and Policy in Los Angeles County
The Future of Social Work in Child Welfare
Child welfare has been a volatile and dynamic field of social work practice where policy and practice are continually shaped by attitudes, perceptions and expectations. New developments likely to shift the current balance in the field of child welfare over the next quarter century include: focus on results and performance measures, focus on child and family well-being, and increasing attention to evidence based practice
Implementing and evaluating child welfare demonstration projects
Family-Centered Services
Much of the emphasis in the nation's system of child protection focuses on investigations to determine whether child abuse or neglect has occurred, and procedures for arranging out-of-home care for children who are not safe at home. Less attention often goes to the capacity of public and private agencies to provide services that help stressed families prevent child maltreatment before it begins, or that enable families with serious child-rearing …
