| 요약 | The child welfare system is designed to protect children from harm and to reduce the risk of future harm by supporting families. However, the manner in which the system currently addresses child maltreatment by primary caregivers may not be sufficiently robust as current research suggests that important members of the family-fathers-may not be fully engaged as agents of change in preventing or responding to maltreatment. Evidence suggests that, until recently, fathers were largely overlooked in child welfare. This is beginning to change as child welfare researchers and practitioners are paying increasing attention to fathers and the role that they do and can play in child welfare cases and case outcomes.In the past decade, child welfare researchers have begun to explore the engagement of fathers, the factors that contribute to a lack of engagement, and the effects of engaging fathers. This literature asserts that fathers are routinely not engaged by the child welfare system, negatively affecting their children, and suggests that caseworker bias against fathers is largely to blame for this problem. However, the extant literature takes a broad-brush approach to fathers with child welfare-involved children, painting them as a homogenous group and father engagement as invariably beneficial for children. Furthermore, the literature has yet to enumerate how many fathers are represented in child welfare cases at any given time, how many fathers are eligible (i.e. not restricted by factors such as incarceration) for engagement in their children's cases, or among eligible fathers, how many are not being engaged.Through a review of case records for 507 children from 359 families who entered out-of-home care in one urban county for the first time between October 1, 2013 and September 30, 2015, this mixed method exploratory study re-examines father engagement with a more nuanced lens. Data from the case record review was linked with administrative data to: 1) examine the extent and nature of father engagement in an urban county's child welfare system |
