What are the different types of decisions that child welfare workers make?

?Hope this helps.

Thanks for your detailed answer!

1. The first type involves cases in which allegations of abuse or neglect are reported to the child welfare agency and a decision must be made as to whether to investigate the allegations.
2. The second type involves decisions that must be made after an investigation report is received and a child welfare agency decides to provide services to children and/ or their families but not to remove children from their biological parent(s) or legal caregivers.
3. The third type involves decisions about whether to remove children from their home and place them in foster care or another form of alternative care.
