Addressing Racial Inequity in Child Welfare through Child Welfare Worker Training
Jennifer Thornhill
An overview of the capstone project focused on addressing racial inequity in child welfare through child welfare worker training will be presented. The current scope of racial inequity in child welfare will be discussed. A synthesis of the literature that addresses training topics focused on anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) for child welfare workers will be explored and gaps in effectiveness of pragmatic skill application identified. A theoretical framework encompassing Critical Race Theory, Transformative Learning Theory, Active Learning Theory, and Social Learning Theory will be proposed. This framework will guide the implementation of training for child welfare worker learning and training to apply knowledge in practice. Lastly, a proposed training protocol will be provided which includes frequency of delivery, activities to facilitate belief transformation, activities to facilitate active learning, and strategies to enhance fidelity in practice through coaching, modeling, and inclusion in supervision.
