Abstract

ABSTRACT There is much discussion in the literature regarding the role public child welfare has played in disproportionately intervening with children and families of color, and debate regarding how this has impacted their wellbeing and the role systemic racism has played. The voice of individuals serving as regional and state-level administrators of public child welfare agencies regarding this topic and how to address existing inequities has been missing in this dialogue. This paper reports on semi-structured interviews conducted with sixteen such administrators regarding where they have observed these issues in their agencies and a wide array of strategies they believe have the best likelihood of promoting racial equity and antiracist practice in the child welfare system, with some describing approaches currently being implemented. Participants discussed what they need from community and university partners to support this work.

促进儿童福利中的种族平等与反种族主义实践:公共儿童福利管理者的看法

文献中有很多关于公共儿童福利在不成比例地干预有色人种儿童和家庭方面所起作用的讨论，以及关于这如何影响他们的福祉和系统性种族主义所起作用的争论。作为地区和州一级公共儿童福利机构管理人员的个人就这一主题以及如何解决现有的不平等问题的声音在这一对话中一直缺失。本文报告了对16名此类行政人员进行的半结构化访谈，内容涉及他们在其机构中观察到这些问题的地方，以及他们认为最有可能在儿童福利系统中促进种族平等和反种族主义做法的广泛战略，其中一些描述了目前正在实施的方法。与会者讨论了他们需要从社区和大学伙伴那里得到什么来支持这项工作。

期刊介绍： Decisions made in the practice of child welfare have lifelong effects on children and their entire families which in turn affects every facet of society. To effectively practice in this vital field, social workers, psychologists, counselors, juvenile court judges, attorneys, and other child welfare professionals need to stay informed about the latest findings and important issues in public child welfare. To answer this crucial need, the Journal of Public Child Welfare provides a broad forum for theory-based and applied research in child welfare. Rather than limit itself to primarily private agencies, this essential journal provides the quality research and comprehensive information that child welfare professionals and public agencies need most.
