The adoption of a practice model is not a new concept to child welfare. Every child welfare agency has some form of a practice model, even in cases where it is embedded in its policy and not clearly articulated to agency staff. Agencies that use their practice model to achieve system-wide advancement, however, have a transparent and well-articulated practice model that guides the daily interactions among employees, children and families, community partners to achieve defined outcomes. This brief report provides an overview of the essential components of a practice model based on the current research and highlight the experiences of three child welfare jurisdictions when developing and implementing their own practice model.
