This study investigated the experiences of providers collaborating with child welfare workers using the Quality of Collaboration with Child Welfare (Q-CCW) survey. The findings reveal a significant misalignment between the perceived importance of collaboration and providers’ actual satisfaction levels. Despite high valuations of collaboration, participants from a range of professions expressed dissatisfaction with the responsivity and professionalism of workers. They were slightly more satisfied with relational elements of the collaborations. Participants further indicated that their experiences led to poorer outcomes and decreased willingness to continue working on child welfare cases. Providers’ responses underscores the need for improvements in collaborative practices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
