Subject:Re: General public's perception of child protection workers/the child welfare system

Recent Harris poll by Bipartisan Policy Center. Not a questionnaire per se, but interesting data: https://bipartisanpolicy.org/blog/american-public-weighs-in-national-child-welfare-system/ On Thu, Nov 23, 2023 at 7:02 AM Svetlana Shpiegel > wrote: Hello, I am looking for a questionnaire/scale assessing the ways in which the general public perceives child protection workers or the child welfare system (e.g., perception that the system's goal is to "take children away" or to help, perceptions regarding the presence or absence of racial bias, etc). If anyone is familiar with a validated instrument on this topic (or even a questionnaire that has not been formally validated), I'd appreciate any references.
