NASW led the field in the development of best practices for social workers in child welfare. The NASW Standards for Social Work Practice in Child Protection (NASW, 1981) served as an initial effort to formulate standards in this important and continually evolving area of practice. This reference is a basic tool for social work practice in child welfare that might include family preservation and support, out-of-home care, family foster care, kinship care, residential group homes, adoption, independent living, child day care, adolescent pregnancy and parenting services, hospitals, and nontraditional settings such as faith-based facilities.
