As child welfare services are restructured for outcomes which demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness, there is a growing need to help professionals understand the choices and challenges of going to a market-driven approach. Lewin's force field analysis model is used to provide a systematic framework for understanding why managed care is not likely to fade away. An argument is made for a proactive response that is based on a family-centered, strengths-based approach to child welfare within the context of managed care.

The idea of prevention in child welfare is not new. The prevention of substitute placement of children whether on a temporary or long-term basis has been a fundamental principle of child welfare we have held to for many years in Victoria.However, it is only in the last decade that this principle is actually being carried out in practice by a number of voluntary agencies. For many children placement is still commonly used as a solution it is easier to place a child than to promote change within many multi-deficit families.
