Child-Welfare

Child welfare refers to the set of government and private services that are designed to protect the well-being of children and to ensure that they are able to grow and develop in safe, stable, and nurturing environments. Child welfare services may include a wide range of activities, such as providing support and assistance to families in need, ensuring that children are protected from abuse and neglect, and providing temporary or permanent homes for children who are unable to live with their biological parents. Child welfare agencies and professionals work to promote the best interests of children and to ensure that they have access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
