Abstract | Examined similarities and differences in social worker gatekeeping decisionmaking in child welfare and child protection in Sweden and Canada. Found that Swedish child welfare included a greater readiness to intervene with more resources and measures; gatekeeping was assessment-driven and focused on family preservation. Found that in Canada, only the needy children were eligible for a limited range of services; gatekeeping was structure-driven and focused on protection. (Author/KB) |
