Trends in Child Welfare

Trends in Child Welfare are an important topic as the removal of children, even infants, from the care of their biological parent(s) is traumatic on children. Statistic suggests that only 20% of the children in foster care today are there as a result of bona fide, evidence-based neglect, or abuse. This statistic also then suggests that 80% of children were removed and are in the custody of state child welfare agencies for other reasons. What are those reasons and how does federal funding influence state child welfare policies, practices, programs, and removal protocols? The Family First Prevention Services Act was signed into law in February of 2018. Its goal is to shift child welfare practices by shifting a portion of funding and outcome measures by reducing the number of kids coming into foster care by providing funding for prevention services, kinship placement, and earlier access to child mental health care. In the episode, we speak to attorney Connie Reguli about her family law defense practice in TN, her child welfare reform advocacy, and the trends she sees in the practice of child welfare.
