Child Welfare: What do we know is best for children and families? • The goal in child welfare should be to ensure the safety, permanency and
well-being of children and their families.• We know to support child well-being, it is important to intervene as early as
possible.• We know that the act of removing children from their families and homes
creates emotional distress and trauma that should be avoided whenever possible.
• We know some children can be better served by remaining safely at home while their parents receive the community services and support they need.
