Child Neglect and Service Integration in a Child
Welfare System. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 116
Current research suggests that families who
experience neglect have multiple economic and
clinical needs. However little is known about the
interrelationship between these diverse needs and
what kinds of services best alleviate their impact.
Service Integration is one promising approach but
evidence of effective applications are sparse. This
book presents how one agency combined child welfare
and economic assistance services; and how family
needs, services, and family outcomes were addressed
in child neglect cases. The findings demonstrate
that service integration could be implemented within
large bureaucratic systems. It also identifies
subgroups in child neglect cases which can be used
for the development of specific programs and provide
more effective interventions for this particular
population. These findings should be beneficial for
human service personnel, community organizations and
others, in providing services to these families.
Furthermore, this analysis provides specific
information on how to identity what types of polices
need to be in place, what kinds of programs should
be created and what type of evaluation is required
for service integration.
