Social workers can become more influential in improving child welfare services by advocating for policy changes that prioritize the needs of children and families, engaging in research to identify best practices, and collaborating with other professionals and organizations to ensure that children and families have access to the resources they need. Additionally, social workers can work to increase public awareness of the issues facing children and families, and work to build relationships with legislators and other decision-makers to ensure that child welfare services are adequately funded and supported.
