Project Description
Subject Summary, Spring 2007
Authors: Esther Wattenberg & Kate Troy
Through state-wide focus groups and interviews with representatives from child protection and the judicial system, this study explored the understanding of and circumstances for Protective Supervision. A summary and striking finding is that there is no common understanding of the concept, definition, or uses of Protective Supervision among the respondents throughout the state. Among those counties that did understand and use this court disposition, reunification was the most common circumstance for its use; however, counties that use Protective Supervision report a variety of differing circumstances.

CASCW’s subject summaries were developed by affiliated faculty within the School of Social Work from 2004–2010. Child welfare-relevant evaluation findings, which include current policies and practices affecting Title IV-E eligible families and children, are incorporated into these supplemental training materials.
Each Subject Summary contains features such as discussion questions, selected references, additional resources, suggested guest speakers and a PowerPoint presentation.
