Migrant Child Welfare: A State of the Field Study of Child Welfare Services for Migrant Children and Their Families Who Are In-Stream, Home Based, Or Settled-Out. Final Report, June 1977.
Cavenaugh, David N.; And Others
The five parts of this report present the findings and recommendations of the Migrant Child Welfare study. Part I briefly summarizes the impact of the child welfare services and the family interview results, and reviews the organizational structure of program delivery at the state and local levels. Part II synthesizes the information obtained from 12 states according to public social service agencies, child care, personal and environmental health, and education; gives an overview of that service to migrant children; and describes Federal and state funding sources which are, or can be, used to support child welfare efforts in each service area. Also reported are an assessment of migrant children's needs and the extent to which they are being met, a description of existing services which address these needs, factors which affect service delivery (program implementation, administrative structure, support, service coordination), and barriers of acceptability, availability, and accessibility which impede service delivery. Part III discusses the results of interviews conducted with migrant families concerning their use and need for specific child welfare services. Presented in Part IV are detailed summaries of the findings, with a description and discussion of the services at the state and local levels. Part V includes discussions of the existence of undocumented workers in the migrant stream and the need for advocacy of migrant programs; the results of the survey on training farmworkers in service to migrants; and two case studies which represent the best day care program and the worst living conditions for migrant families.
