The Supervisor in Child Welfare

The report, The Supervisor in Child Welfare, contains information from a three year collaborative effort to develop and deliver training in child welfare supervision under the support of a grant from the U.S. Children's Bureau. This report outlines four sections that take into account the harsh realities of work and supervision in child welfare. The sections outlined are the legal and organizational framework for the provision of child welfare services, the current knowledge about the best practices in child welfare, executive elements of supervision, and the challenges to transforming child welfare agencies into learning organizations.
