The Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare (CASCW) has partnered with the Minnesota Association of County Social Service Administrators (MACSSA) Children’s Committee and the Minnesota Department of Human Services to better understand the state of Minnesota’s child welfare workforce, with a particular focus on child protection professionals, in order to develop strategies to stabilize and strengthen the workforce in a time of child protection reform. To accomplish this, CASCW developed the Child Welfare Workforce Stabilization Survey. While the survey was sent to the larger child welfare workforce, the final report and summary specifically focus on the child protection workforce.
