Program Summary:<\/strong> \u00a0This thought-provoking course explores the relationship between social work and the child welfare system and critiques the federal Title IV-E training program and the ethical conflicts involved in training MSW students to regulate families. \u00a0The course examines the forces of racism, classism, misogyny, and injustice within the child welfare system. \u00a0The course suggests that the relationship between child welfare and social work must be reimagined and recreated in a new way that will allow social workers to meet the needs of children and families while also upholding the ethical principle of social justice.<\/p>\n

Social justice is a core value of the social work profession, and the NASW Code of Ethics establishes the ethical principle to challenge social injustice.<\/p>\n
