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. Enhanced family functioning, through the Consultancy Measure provided by expert practitioners within a specific legal framework, promotes the well-being of at-risk children and their parents. On the other hand, numerous studies emphasize the shortcomings in implementing the Consultancy Measure, which is asserted to be successful in terms of its results. 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 trying to be a successful application that can be taken as an example by other countries.
