When a child welfare client dies: an agency-centered perspective

Nora Gustavsson et al. Child Welfare. 2004 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

When working with vulnerable children and their families, the specter of client death for child welfare workers and agencies is recognized as a rare but unsparingly real event. This article uses an agency-centered perspective to explore the multilayered steps agencies may implement at the supervisory through administrative levels to build agency-wide support for workers to cope and perform well during such crises.
