Description
This research project discusses how the community views child protection services. It is important for clients and community members to understand the purpose and goal of child protection assessments and on- going child protection services. Contrary to popular belief, the primary goal of child protection is to ensure the safety of children, not to take children away from their parents/guardians. This research project will explore the past and present views of child protection services in southern Minnesota counties. The history of child protection services will also be researched to see if there is supportive evidence as to why there may be a negative connotation of services. This research project is in process and the results will be available at a later date. The findings regarding this research project are important because human services should be concerned about society’s views and perspectives regarding the services they provide. It is beneficial for the community to accurately understand what child protection does and what it offer to families.
