BACKGROUND
The current literature has established that prejudice in child protection cases with parents with intellectual disabilities continues to persist. However, complexities of these cases are not well-understood from the perspective of child protection workers. This study aimed to identify the needs of child protection workers and their views on factors that influence supports for parents with intellectual disabilities.
METHOD
This qualitative study conducted semistructured interviews with child protection workers who have worked directly with parents with intellectual disabilities across five child protective agencies in three regions in Ontario, Canada (n = 11).
RESULTS
Three major themes emerged after content analysis of interviews: (1) training and support needs of child protection workers; (2) key sources of support for parents; and (3) intersecting factors impacting decision-making.
CONCLUSION
Social service agencies continue to be fragmented and better coordination across agencies is needed to meet the cross-sectoral needs of parents with intellectual disabilities.
背景
当前文献表明，在涉及智障父母的儿童保护案件中，偏见仍然存在。然而，从儿童保护工作者的角度来看，这些案件的复杂性并未得到充分理解。本研究旨在确定儿童保护工作者的需求以及他们对影响为智障父母提供支持的因素的看法。
方法
这项定性研究对加拿大安大略省三个地区五个儿童保护机构中直接与智障父母打过交道的儿童保护工作者进行了半结构化访谈（n = 11）。
结果
访谈内容分析后出现了三个主要主题：（1）儿童保护工作者的培训和支持需求；（2）父母的主要支持来源；（3）影响决策的交叉因素。
结论
社会服务机构仍然分散，需要各机构之间更好地协调，以满足智障父母的跨部门需求。
