Abstract
Child welfare practice has undergone significant shifts in the relationship between state agencies and families, with families increasingly being considered as partners in decision-making. An emerging body of research shows high family satisfaction with these approaches, but little outcome research currently exists. This article synthesizes practice and research literature on three predominant approaches to family involvement, Family Group Decision-Making (FGDM), Team Decision-Making (TDM), and Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPCC). We conclude with recommendations for future research, and for addressing the underlying values and ethics of family involvement.
