Who needs differential response?

1. Child welfare agencies: Differential response is typically implemented by child protective services agencies as an alternative approach to traditional investigations. It allows for a more flexible and collaborative response to reports of child abuse or neglect.
2. Families involved in child protective services: Differential response aims to engage families in a non-adversarial manner, promoting their active participation in identifying and addressing concerns. Families in need of support or intervention can benefit from this approach.
3. Communities: Implementing differential response can have a positive impact on communities by promoting early intervention and prevention of child abuse or neglect. It encourages community members to come forward with concerns, knowing that a less stigmatizing response will be provided.
