Beyond 51As: Building Pathways That Support Families
Training description
This educational series, hosted by Massachusetts’ Initiative to Reduce Child Neglect, dives deeper into the data, builds shared understanding, and supports consistent, informed decision-making across the initiative.
This session focuses on systems-level approaches to reducing unnecessary child abuse or neglect reports (51A reports). Participants examine how policies, protocols, incentives, and accountability structures shape practice, and identify leverage points for shifting from surveillance-based responses to coordinated systems of support that address root causes and reduce harm to families and the workforce.
Presented by: Matthew Kincaid, Founder and CEO, Overcoming Racism
