“…Welfare and CPS systems should work together in supporting families that experience increased risks in the wake of a benefit reduction but do not have safety issues that rise to the level of a child maltreatment finding. Strategies might include integrated service systems (Erhle, Scarcella, and Geen 2004), alternative response models in CPS (Waldfogel 1998;U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 2003), and dedicated emergency assistance funding (Eamon and Kopels 2004) for families that come to the attention of CPS following a loss of benefits.…”

“…'The National Children's Strategy' (Government of Ireland 2000); the Commission on the Family report, 'Strengthening Families for Life ' (1998) (Canavan and Dolan 2003). Importantly, the mythical perception among professionals of family support as being a 'soft option' or only occurring in community-based settings may also be abating in that there is a more common understanding of family support occurring across the domains of child protection and alternative care as well as in community and 6 BRADY AND DOLAN in-home settings (Dolan, Canavan, and Pinkerton 2006;Ehrle, Scarcella, and Green 2004;Pinkerton, Dolan, and Percy 2003). This has also been reflected in the context of a National Review of Family Support, commissioned by the Department of Health and Children.…”

Exploring good practice in Irish child and family services: Reflections and considerations

The prospect of furthering good practice in child and family services is something that is in everybody's interest, service users, practitioners, policy makers and academics alike. However, it is a task fraught with difficulty due in part to the wide range and diversity of child care practice as well as a lack of fora for dissemination. In the Republic of Ireland, child and family services have undergone rapid development since the implementation of the Child Care Act 1991 and child and family provision is now a blend of new and established approaches and models delivered in a range of settings. With the aim of supporting the development of good practice and profiling positive work taking place in child and family services, the Department of Health and Children initiated a process of identifying, describing and analysing good practice approaches in work with children and families. As part of this initiative, a framework of good practice principles, focused on management and operational levels, was devised and used as a means of relating to the experience of 26 service profiles nominated by local Health Service Executive regions. This article describes the methodology and process of the initiative, including the various methodological challenges that were faced and discusses key aspects of the learning that emerged in relation to good practice and the project's attempts to understand and relate to it.

“…Second, the Adoption and Safety Families Act of 1997 (ASFA) (PL 105-89) stresses that an organizational care is a temporary setting and that children in foster care need to find permanency placements earlier than before. Third, the increasing number of children in an organizational care is responsible for increasing foster care costs [15][16][17]. Thus, it is important to find out the factors preventing permanency for an organizational children care.…”
