“…However, another study found that increased service use is associated with more positive emotional caretaker responses to the intervention regardless of whether it is IR or AR, with AR more likely to be associated with a positive emotional response (Hollinshead et al, 2017). Finally, DR has been found to be cost neutral (Fuller, Paceley, & Schreiber, 2014; Winokur et al, 2014) or to result in cost savings (Loman & Siegel, 2004).…”

Differential Response and Children Re-Reported to Child Protective Services: County Data From the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS)

et al. 2018

Child protection systems that implement differential response (DR) systems screen to route referrals to an investigation response (IR) or alternative response (AR). AR responses emphasize family engagement, assessment of family needs, and service linkage. Usually, AR state-level policy does not require child welfare staff to make a maltreatment determination. Jurisdictions implement DR systems differently, leading to variations in the proportion of AR cases, risk levels of cases served, and the ways families access and use services. County data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System were analyzed for six states from 2004 to 2013 that implemented DR. Variation in county-level AR rates were associated with county-level re-report rates using regression models with risk adjustments for socioeconomic and other county characteristics. Counties had 3% fewer re-reports overall for each percentage increase in AR use; higher levels of AR use are related to lower levels of re-reporting. When county AR and IR cases were analyzed separately, increasing rates of AR were associated with lower re-report rates for IR cases, but higher re-report rates for AR cases. Findings for the AR and IR subgroup must be interpreted with caution as a number of technical factors may be driving these results.

“…Successfully engaging clients in the helping process is a critical task for child welfare practitioners (Dawson and Berry, 2012), and serves as a crucial component in that process (McLendon et al, 2012). Fuller et al (2015) state that the importance of parent perspectives on child welfare service delivery is often overlooked. Ferguson (2016) argues that research into child and family social work has largely stopped short of getting close enough to produce understandings of what occurs between social workers and service users.…”

“…Furthermore, Melchiorre and Vis (2013) indicate that here positive helping relationships are needed. Being supported is associated with parental and familial positive experiences of participation (Fuller et al, 2015; Gladstone et al, 2014; Schreiber et al, 2013), and it can serve as motivation for change (Chaviano et al, 2016).…”

Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured interviews with a sample of 11 child protection workers and 11 parents in southern Estonia, this article reports the findings of participants’ experiences of and perspectives on parental engagement in the context of child protection assessment. The four themes that emerge from the content analysis suggest that participants’ perspectives differ in understanding and experiencing the engagement. Workers perceive the engagement more in terms of ‘doing for’ the client, while parents consider it ‘doing together with’ the worker. Furthermore, workers’ approaches are excessively related to the deficit-based approach.

“…Dicha comunicación es la clave para favorecer la comprensión del proceso de acogida, predisponer a las familias a participar y ayudar a mitigar el impacto de las emociones negativas. Los hallazgos revindican que el apoyo profesional en este sentido es crucial para muchos de los padres, lo cual favorece su funcionamiento familiar, tal como apuntan otros estudios (Fuller, Paceley, & Schreiber, 2014).…”

El enfoque de la parentalidad positiva está contribuyendo a cambiar el modelo de intervención en el Sistema de Protección a la Infancia y a la Adolescencia. Desde este enfoque, la participación de la familia biológica se contempla como un elemento esencial que facilita la vuelta a casa de los hijos, promueve la implicación de los padres y ayuda a incrementar su conciencia sobre los motivos reales de la separación. El artículo muestra los resultados de un estudio llevado a cabo en España cuyo objetivo fue analizar la participación de la familia en el momento en el que comienza la medida de acogimiento, ya que esta conforma una fase fundamental en la intervención. Para ello, se ha realizado una investigación cualitativa utilizando grupos de discusión y entrevistas semi-estructuradas con 135 participantes: 63 profesionales del Sistema de Protección, 30 niños y adolescentes involucrados en procesos de acogimiento y reunificación y 42 padres de estos jóvenes. Los resultados profundizan en ciertos ámbitos relacionados con la información que las familias reciben, así como en su implicación y participación en el proceso. Entre los hallazgos, se resalta la sensación de vacío informacional de los padres en cuanto a los aspectos legales y las características del recurso de acogida, así como las escasas oportunidades que se les ofrecen para implicarse en la toma de decisiones. Al respecto, se proponen acciones socioeducativas encaminadas a optimizar la práctica profesional e involucrar a las familias en la mejora del ejercicio de su parentalidad.
