    Abstract Background: The role of child welfare workers is twofold, to promote the safety of children and youth and to address their wellbeing. This provincially legislated mandate requires child welfare workers to make decisions across the child welfare service continuum. After a report of child maltreatment is investigated, workers are required to assess the veracity of the allegation through the substantiation decision and to determine whether the child has been victimized, which may impact on families' future involvement with services. Little is known whether or how individual worker characteristics impact the substantiation decision.
    Objective and methods: This study estimated the degree of variation across caseworker characteristics in the substantiation decision through secondary data analysis of the Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (OIS, 2018). We explored how the substantiation decision varied across clinical and caseworker characteristics, using both simple and multilevel logistic regression models.
    Results: Findings suggest that primarily clinical characteristics predicted the substantiation decision, however, worker years of child welfare experience also predicted substantiation, such that more experienced workers were significantly more likely to substantiate than less experienced workers (est = 0.02, SE = 0.01, p < .10). The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (35 %) suggests differences among child welfare workers' substantiation decision, they are however, characteristics not measured in this study.
    Conclusions: Further research to assess the differential nature of child welfare worker characteristics and their role in decision-making is required.

    Abstract Victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) and their children may be at an increased risk for negative health outcomes and may present to healthcare settings. The objective of the current study is to examine the profile of medical-referred child welfare investigations of exposure to IPV in Ontario, Canada. Data from the Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect 2018 were used. We compared medical-referred investigations with all other investigations of exposure to IPV. Descriptive and bivariate analyses as well as a logistic regression predicting transfers to ongoing services were conducted. Six percent of investigations of exposure to IPV conducted in Ontario in 2018 were referred by a medical source. Compared to other investigations of exposure to IPV, these investigations were more likely to involve younger children (

  6. Article ; Online: Twenty-five years of child welfare data in Ontario, Canada: Examining the response of child welfare to reports of children's exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV).

    Abstract Background: Increases in child welfare investigations involving children's exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) in Ontario are likely the result of three factors: 1) changes to legislation, policy, and assessment instruments; 2) increased awareness of the risks of exposure to IPV for children, and 3) referrals from professionals (e.g., police).
    Objectives: Using data from 6 cycles of the Ontario Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (OIS) (1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018), this paper will examine the changes of the incidence rates of IPV exposure, providing important context for a type of investigation that is not well understood in Ontario.
    Methods: The incidence of investigations where the primary concern of the investigating worker is IPV was derived and compared across OIS cycles. Investigation were compared across cycles using incidence counts.
    Results: After the nearly 2-fold increase of investigations for all maltreatment types in Ontario between 1998 and 2003, IPV investigations are the only type that continue to increase. There is a growing gap between these investigations and substantiating child maltreatment. Rates of placement have not changed over time, remaining low. Rates of transfers and referrals have increased but not significantly.
    Conclusions: The continued growth in the rate of child welfare investigations involving exposure to IPV as well as the overwhelming endorsement of substantiated exposure to IPV, while maintaining the same proportion of transfers to ongoing child welfare services and low placement rates, is a significant concern for Ontario.

  7. Article ; Online: A Multilevel Examination of Whether Child Welfare Worker Characteristics Predict the Substantiation Decision in Canada.

    Abstract The decision to substantiate a report of child maltreatment represents a key decision point in the child welfare service decision-making continuum. This decision has various potential implications for children and their families, which may include more intensive child welfare involvement or the cessation of services. The substantiation decision is determined by whether there is enough evidence to suggest that maltreatment or the risk of maltreatment has occurred. To date, there has been minimal exploration of whether child welfare worker characteristics might influence this critical decision point. The Decision-Making Ecology would suggest that indeed, worker characteristics play a role in how they carry out their role. Given the importance of this decision point, this study uses secondary data to examine whether worker characteristics, such as education level and type, ethnoracial identity, caseload, and experience, predict substantiation in the Canadian child welfare context. Furthermore, this study utilizes multilevel modeling, a theoretically important and unique method of analyzing organizational data that considers differences in decisions among child welfare workers. The final model included 4,327 children and 567 workers from across Canada. Several case level factors (e.g., child age and functioning, caregiver risk factors) predicted the substantiation decision. Furthermore, and most importantly for this study, worker characteristics significantly predicted their substantiation decision. Workers with fewer years of experience, those in an Ongoing Services role, and with a lower caseload substantiated significantly more often than those with more work experience, in another role, and with higher caseloads. Lastly, caseload and years of experience, and training and caseload both interacted to predict the substantiation decision. Implications for policy and practice and future research areas are discussed.

    Abstract Les lectures partagées constituent une forme particulière de discours adressé aux enfants. Nous inscrivant dans les approches basées sur l’usage, nous défendons l’idée de l’importance de cette pratique dans la construction du langage chez l’enfant et dans la perspective de son entrée dans la littératie. A partir du module « Livres pour enfants » du corpus ESLO, nous observerons l’usage des liaisons au regard des caractéristiques du lecteur, des enfants, des types d’albums lus et d’un ensemble de facteurs internes. Cette étude est exploratoire dans la mesure où la taille de notre corpus nous permet d’observer seulement certains de ces facteurs. Les premières tendances obtenues et les réflexions sur les aspects méthodologiques à creuser constituent un point d’étape important pour de futurs travaux autour de la lecture partagée et de l’usage des liaisons dans le domaine de l’acquisition du langage.

    Abstract Background: Child welfare services in Canada are guided by a dual mandate: to protect children from imminent harm and to promote their optimal development and well-being. To understand how child welfare systems respond to this dual mandate, Trocmé et al. (2014) developed a taxonomy to classify child welfare investigations as either being related to urgent protection or chronic needs.
    Objective: To extend Trocmé et al.'s (2014) analysis using data from the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect 2019 (CIS-2019).
    Participants and setting: The CIS-2019 employs a file review methodology to collect information on child maltreatment-related investigations conducted in Canada in 2019. The study's unweighted sample included 41,948 investigations involving children aged 0-15 years.
    Methods: Secondary analyses of the CIS-2019 were conducted including frequency counts and bivariate analyses.
    Results: Ninety percent of investigations conducted in Canada in 2019 were focused on concerns related to chronic needs. Most investigations (90.9 % of urgent protection investigations and 98.3 % of chronic needs investigations) did not involve physical harm to the child. Urgent protection investigations were less likely to have been previously investigated and more likely to be substantiated, involve a child welfare court application, or involve a placement in out-of-home care.
    Conclusions: Most child welfare investigations in Canada continue to be focused on chronic needs. Yet, the investigation response seems designed to respond to urgent protection concerns. A truly differential model is needed to appropriately respond to the dual mandate of Canadian child welfare services and better serve children and families.
