In the same manner as in the United Kingdom and Australia, and under a pilot-project basis in Quebec, Ontario’s Children’s Aid Societies are in the process of adopting the Looking After Children (LAC) approach and its corresponding tool, the Assessment and Action Record (AAR), in order to evaluate the needs of children in care. As the AAR is relatively new, it is important to determine the views of the social workers using it, as well as those of their supervisors. Accordingly, 20 in-depth interviews were conducted during the winter of 2004. The participants affirm that the AAR helps them to better determine the needs of children in care and leads to improvements in the structure of care plans. All the same, in the context of children in care, the AAR presents administrative constraints. The participants therefore propose ways to adapt this clinical tool.
