520 _aThe status of the child welfare system suggests that changes are increasingly urgent in prioritizing the well-being for Latino children because of their disproportionate representation and limited access to service delivery. This qualitative study, using focus groups, explores this social justice issue by engaging Latino caseworkers’ voices regarding the ability of the delivery system to adequately serve this growing population of children and families. Examining these issues within a social justice perspective provides a powerful glimpse of the structural inequities for Latino families. Findings call for cultural competence that reduces the inequities and mandates knowledge and cultural awareness in accessing and coordinating services to Latino children and families.
