</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">(NCA), an excellent review by Teresa Huizar of the latest issue of ※Reaching Out§ a publication packed with information about child welfare first responders and
<b>initial response to child abuse</b>. I have included the whole review from the NCA below. I strongly encourage you to follow the link and read ※Reaching Out.§<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Good morning and happy Monday. I hope this finds everyone well. This morning, I＊d like to turn your attention to the child protective services agencies with which we work so closely.
As CACs and MDTs, we rely on our CPS partners 每 and they are often the first among us to have contact with the children and families we serve.
</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">That first contact can be critical, and can determine the course and outcome of the case as it moves through both the criminal and the civil systems. It can determine whether or not
a child comes to the advocacy center for an interview, whether a criminal investigation ensues, and whether and what kind of intervention a family receives from CPS. And although there is a tremendous amount of research and discussion around all of these
steps flowing from the initial contact, a recent issue of ※<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/1iylfe">Reaching Out</a>,§ a publication of the Northern California Training Academy, correctly points out that ※there is a surprising gap of research
in the emergency response or the ※front end§ phase.§ <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/hbzlfe">
Id</a>., p. 1.</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="e2ma-style"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In response, this publication focuses almost entirely on that ※front end§ phase, and on ※four actions child welfare agencies can use to positively impact children and families in those
early months, which includes engaging parents, ensuring appropriate services are offered＃, accurate assessment and the discreet structure of the emergency response system.§
<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/x3zlfe">Id</a>. Additionally, the publication notes that ※this issue will focus on the single most important thing any child welfare agency can do to make a positive impact: collaborate at all levels.§

and productive members of society.§ <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/to1lfe">
Id</a>., p. 6. And, as we all know, sometimes 每 through no fault of the caseworker 每 these cases end tragically, raising ※questions which cannot be answered quickly or completely due to confidentiality policy, legal restrictions and/or ongoing investigations.§
<a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/9g2lfe">Id</a>. Such questions are invariably followed by a ※debate about whether the social work profession ※can be trusted to do its job,§ whether social workers are too eager to remove children or too overworked
or insensitive to respond to calls for help.§ <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/tkico/lqlgrj/p92lfe">
