CPS investigations sometimes become very confrontational, which causes families to shut down. How do FAR guidelines for caseworkers address this?

Children's Administration is using Solution Based Casework to better engage families involved with CPS. Parents are partners in the FAR pathway. All communication, training, and coaching for FAR caseworkers will emphasize this principle. We will focus on family involvement in every step of the assessment process and service selection. The FAR pathway is a new way to work with families. Coaches will work with FAR caseworkers to ensure the FAR principles are incorporated in their practice.
