Re: child protection teams-clarification

["Karen Adshead" <karen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You might want to further define what you mean by child protection? Does
this include statutory, investigative teams, or diagnostic, medical teams?
If so, starting with hospitals or clinics (diagnostic, medical teams) and
State or Provincial social services and special units of local police
(statutory, investigative teams). The composition would be based on your own
local model for child welfare. What does your State or Provincial
legislation articulate in terms of who the local authority is on these
matters? From there, you may be able to contact workers in child protection
through these mandated services.

complete a round of surveys by mail (utilizing the Delphi technique) in
order to establish a consensus on what an ideal child protection team should
be defined as re: their form and function. I need to identify potential
participants and would like to be as broad as possible so that opinions from
multiple disciplines are represented.  I do not, however, know of a list
that exists of contact information for potential participants.  Does anyone
know of a way of accessing this population of professionals?
