This environmental scan was conducted as part of a collaborative research project conducted by Calgary Counselling Centre researchers in partnership with Alberta Human Services: Child Intervention, Family Violence Prevention and Homeless Supports (FVPHS) and The Alberta Centre for Child, Family and Community Research. The methodology used for this scan consisted of conducting a survey of all Child Intervention staff in Alberta, and seven focus groups with participants representing Child Intervention staff, including supervisors and managers and Regional Family Violence Coordinators for Alberta. The literature related to risk assessment and safety planning in child welfare was also reviewed and integrated into this report.
