Abstract :Child welfare is a critical issue worldwide. Countries apply various protective and preventive measures in this area. In this sense, Türkiye started implementing the Consultancy Measure in 2005. The Consultancy Measure ensures that children are supported together with their families by strengthening them. No review study has been found regarding the Consultancy Measure. Thus, this review examines the Consultancy Measure based on laws and current literature findings. The family functionality that improves thanks to the Consultancy Measure increases the well-being of both the child and the parents. The deficiencies in the implementation of the Consultancy Measure, which is claimed to be successful in terms of its results, are highlighted by many studies. There is a consensus in the literature on the proposal to establish a unit solely responsible for implementing the Consultancy Measure decisions due to the high workload and the need to strengthen the feedback mechanism. In this regard, the Consultancy Measure application can support the child and the family much more effectively if policymakers make some improvements. It can be said that the Consultancy Measure, which aims to strengthen the child with the family, is a successful application that can be taken as an example by other countries.
