Abstract

A particularly difficult task for child protection workers is deciding whether to separate a child from their family due to safety concerns. Team Decision Making (TDM) is a collaborative practice created by the Annie E. Casey Foundation (Casey) that child welfare agencies use to include family members for all decisions involving child removal, change of placement, reunification or other permanency plans. TDM is comprised of six elements, of which the key component is a meeting held to make safety-based decisions every time a safety assessment suggests a child may need to leave their home, regardless of court involvement. Prior evaluation established TDM as a promising practice.
