This new report from our research partner RTI International introduces the first Child Welfare Workforce study, which was carried out as part of the third cohort of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being (NSCAW III). The NSCAW III Child Welfare Workforce Study sought to better understand four topic areas relevant to the child welfare system (CWS) context: workforce characteristics and competencies; recruitment, hiring, and onboarding; training and professional development; and organizational factors. The study’s timing allowed for the inclusion of research questions about the policy and practice impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. https://buff.ly/3XeH054 #Data #ChildWelfare #Workforce

‘Outsourced employment service providers are funnelling millions of dollars in government funding earmarked for people on welfare through their own companies, related entities and labour-hire outfits, creating paper empires out of their impoverished clients.’ Ah ! The next taxpayer funded pot of gold for the opportunists - employment services, then add in NDIS, childcare subsidy, aged care, the list goes on - the skimmers are out in force and Federal regulation is, as usual, missing in action. #employeeassistanceprogram #corruption #labourhire #taxpayers

### Unlocking the Relationship Data in Child Welfare Systems Using SDA Tools## We offer child welfare workers very few opportunities to visualize data. Visualizing family relationships is crucial in identifying and engaging family and natural supports—a vital step in creating safety plans that keep children with their families. Unsurprisingly, a wealth of relationship data already exists within child welfare case management systems, but it's often not easily accessible. SDA tools can transform this by visualizing all relationships for every family member directly within the Client Relationship screen, making it easier to leverage these connections for better outcomes. #ChildWelfare #DataVisualization #SocialWork #FamilySupport #SDAtools #CaseManagement
