Abstract:
Over the past 2 years, the workers in Covenant Family Service Centre have noticed a spike in cases with child welfare concerns. The idea of a Child Protection Practice Model to ensure best practices amongst workers started a research process to build the model in an evidence-based manner. With guidance from SSR staff, the research team did an environmental scan, interviews with workers and literature review to build a practice model informed by literature and practice wisdom. The research team will be sharing about the research process, the Practice Model, as well as their experience as practitioners doing practice research.
