Recent research, inquiries and royal commissions emphasise the need for child-centered and participatory practices that support the rights and dignity of children and their families. However, the challenges of quality case recording in child protection systems and contexts remain unclear.
This paper reports on the findings from a pilot study that interviewed (n = 22) and surveyed (n = 56) social work students and social work curriculum…

The Transitioning Residential Care Cost Estimation Tool was designed to help the funders and operators of Residential Care Facilities consider the cost implications of transition and generate cost estimates that could help the decision makers with their planning, and with securing a commitment to transition from key stakeholders.
This is one of three Transition Framework Tools that have been developed by BCN and the Transition Working Group to support RCI transitions and technical support providers.
This video case study was developed as a part of the Transitioning Models of Care Assessment Tool training package. It is 1 of 8 video case studies exploring different aspects of learning on transitioning residential care services. To access the full set of case studies or the training package, visit the BCN Transition Hub.

For more details on the specific transition and…
Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to describe and problematise the practice initiated idea of developing a digital tool for children in child welfare investigations and whether and how this welfare technology is useful for social workers.
