While the current child welfare body of literature offers strategies for in-person relationship building and engagement, there is no evidence exploring the link between engaging service users and remote service delivery. Given this significant knowledge gap, this study explored service providers' and users’ experiences about whether and how engagement was impacted by providing or receiving child welfare services via remote communication.

Results suggest that engagement can be promoted through remote communication, as it signals trust and respect, promoting connections and reduced fear.

This study conducted ten interviews with child protective services workers in Michigan, United States, to examine their experiences working with child advocacy centers and engaging with multidisciplinary teams. Findings reveal that child advocacy centers are viewed favorably by child protection workers. A notable aspect of collaboration included support for investigative processes. Strong relationships between child protective services workers and staff from child advocacy centers emerged as a key facilitator of engagement with multidisciplinary teams.

Participants also recommended improvements to training and education provided by child advocacy centers for multidisciplinary team partners. This study highlights the importance of sustained multidisciplinary collaboration and positive working relationships to improve responses to child abuse. Recommendations include strengthening partnerships between child protection agencies and child advocacy centers through cross-agency training, improving communication of child protection policies to community stakeholders, and addressing logistical challenges faced by child protective services workers.
