This episode features members of the Center for the Study of Social Policy who are working with the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work to lead the upEND movement. upEND seeks to end the practice of State-sanctioned separation of children from their families as a response to social problems like food insecurity, poverty, lack of affordable and safe housing, and lack of meaningful prevention services. The episode includes discussion of how data enable agencies to effectively and objectively review the racial inequities within their policies, procedures, and tools, the meaning and purpose of the upEND movement, how individual child welfare professionals can begin to shift toward a more just and equitable system and what societal changes need to occur to enable a re-envisioned child welfare system to exist.
