Item Applying the Science of Child Development in Child Welfare System(Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University., 2016) Cohen, S. D.In this paper, we show how the science of child development can be leveraged to strengthen one of these public systems: child welfare. Our intended audience includes leaders in the public agencies responsible for child protection and related functions; in the private, non-profit agencies that provide many of the services in these systems; in the courts, which play a critical role in child welfare; in legislative committees that oversee child welfare and related services; and in the many other public systems, such as early childhood education, mental health, and juvenile justice, whose support is essential to success in child welfare.
