Abstract

ABSTRACT Family Team Conference (FTC) has been suggested as a promising practice model to improve child welfare outcomes. However, there is little understanding of developing an effective workforce to ensure FTC fidelity. Using data involving 891 caseworkers who implemented FTC in a Midwestern state, path analysis showed that both effective training and supervision that parallels the same principles of FTC are necessary conditions to enhance FTC fidelity either directly or indirectly by increasing caseworkers’ facilitation skills. This paper suggests that organizational readiness and ongoing support are essential for ensuring the high-quality implementation of family-centered practice in the public child welfare system.

提高儿童福利系统家庭团队会议忠诚度的劳动力发展多路径模型

家庭小组会议(FTC)被认为是一种很有前景的改善儿童福利结果的实践模式。然而，人们对发展一支有效的劳动力队伍以确保对联邦贸易委员会的忠诚知之甚少。通过使用涉及891名在中西部州实施联邦贸易委员会的个案工作者的数据，路径分析表明，与联邦贸易委员会相同原则相对应的有效培训和监督是通过提高个案工作者的促进技能直接或间接提高联邦贸易委员会忠诚度的必要条件。本文认为，组织准备和持续的支持对于确保公共儿童福利系统中以家庭为中心的实践的高质量实施至关重要。

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.
