Evidence-based Strategies to Advance a Safety Culture in Child Welfare
Safety Culture in Child Welfare
A safety culture is one in which organizational values, attitudes, and behaviors support an engaged workforce and reliable care delivery.
Leaders in a safety culture:– Strive to balance systems and individual accountability; and– Value open communication, transparency, and continuous learning
and improvement.
Teams in a safety culture– Monitor themselves, their colleagues, and their system for stress– Anticipate and respond to unexpected events
