Removing a child from their family and placing them in foster care is one of the most intrusive and traumatizing actions that government can take. Policymakers should hold child protection agencies accountable for ensuring children are never removed from their families in response to non-safety related concerns. To accomplish this, a well-functioning child protection agency can use carefully researched tools and interventions to improve child safety assessment and keep families together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n <!-- conversly to above, we need to not show the CTA here if it's the Head Section style -->\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"featured-video is-style-simple wp-block-featured-video\">\n  <div class=\"my-[100px] text-revolver\">\n    <div class=\"container mx-auto px-5\">\n\n      \t\t\t\t<div class=\"header mb-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Webinar, August 7, 2023<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-salt-box my-7\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\">Casey Family Programs hosted a one-hour webinar August 7, 2023, about our new white paper,\u00a0<em>What is a well-functioning child protection agency?\u00a0<\/em>This webinar offers a framework for federal, tribal, state and local policymakers; child welfare leaders; judicial officials; community advocates; and others to consider how child protection agencies are protecting children at imminent risk of harm while not unnecessarily separating children from their families.
