Transfer Out confernece for Faaris Bale held at Thurrock on 30/12/2015.
Faaris will remain in the Child Protection Plan with the Thurrock Children's Services.
The social work preofessionals who attended the tranfer out confernece was concerned about Faaris being back in the family home in Woolwich .
Mr Bale stated in the confernece that Jeny still have lots of chidlren coming to her home, children staying for sleep over parties (especially Tia's friends) and Jeny child minding when her friends are not around- which is concerning if Faaris is present in the property.
It is also worrying that Faaris is vulnerable to the possible fake allegation which children who comes to the family home can raise against him in the event of the past incidents.
You may start to become concerned about a child or young person if they start to act out of character or their behaviour changes.
Not all clients are resistant, not all organizations are uncooperative, not all communities are hopeless, and not all families are dysfunctional. I remember having a foster family my supervisor and I had a visit with while completing in-home visits. The purpose of this visit was to check-in with a client who we had recently placed there due to leaving their previous foster home for drug possession. When my supervisor and I met with the family we did not expect the report that we received on that day. The foster mother reported that she enjoyed having the client in the home and that she views them as one of her own biological children. My supervisor and enjoyed this visit because we were able to see how the family and the client got along. When the client first entered the Department of Social Services they had trust issues and was struggling with their anger. In my opinion, the client was angry and had trust issues because of the relationship they had with their biological mother. After seeing the client in the home with their new foster family the client was responsive to questions and reported that they enjoyed living with the family. They stated, “It feels good to finally be in a home where people actually seem to care about my well-being.” By hearing the client’s statement and observing them in the foster home I felt joy that my supervisor and I was able to find a home where their needs are being
The guardians understood that the children were born just to die at a young age. They understood that many people looked at them as monsters and not as human beings. With that in mind, the guardians did not get emotionally attached to the children. In The Effects of Early Social-Emotional and Relationship Experience on the Development of Young Orphanage Children, the main focus is on how children in orphanages react to certain types of caregivers. The caregivers who worked with the children at the orphanage seem to have the same concerns as the guardians working at Hailsham. On page 108 it says, “ Staff initially wondered if it was a good idea for children to have close relationships with caregivers when many would go to harsher and less affectionate and responsive environments in the future”.
The government attempts continually to revise the foster care system to serve children more proficiently. However, more problems ensue these diligent efforts and modifications. In the article, “Influences on the Mental Health of Children Placed in Foster Care,” author Caroline R. Ellermann concludes, “Once in foster care, ongoing health problems and risk for further complications are exacerbated by (1) removal from the biological home and the trauma of parent separation,” (Ellermann, 2007, p. S23) The system designed to eradicate child abuse erroneously generated a trickle effect of problems. By the removal of these children, the government transpired additional emotional and health problems. Unbeknownst to the effect of the separation anxiety caused by the removal from biological family, these children became subject to abuse from the foster care system.
The landlady immediately changes her kind welcoming speech into something more dramatic and alarming, the quote above shows just that. She expresses this speech towards Billy quite madly, which indicates that her little nest is in fact her
Social workers are often exposed to dangerous and unpredictable situations. I consider the process of removing children from their homes as being one of the most dangerous settings for a social worker. These settings are difficult for both the workers and the parents, as well as for the children being removed. The feelings and emotions that parents could feel in these contexts, such as guilt, sadness, anger, could become overwhelming. My fear is that the conflict could easily escalate and turn into a violent situation.
Since the 1970’s, many debates and arguments have formed over the problems in the Florida foster care system. Some of the arguments were made as to whether different races should become foster families or whether or not is was suitable for gay couples to foster children. Another issue that arose was the children with special needs or older children that people didn’t want. As the foster system grew, it began to experience setbacks. There were now more children needing homes than available homes. The foster care system became full of problems. Foster parents started to complain about not having an adequate support system. The children were not receiving the medical treatments they needed. And foster children were staying in the system so long that some were aging out. Those that age out a were not receiving any support or training to cope with adult life. There was also a shortage in funding. In addition, there had become an alarming number of child abuse and neglect cases within the foster families. Although some aspects of foster care have improved, some changes still need to be made.
On 9/20/2016, Issac was placed in a kinship foster placement with the paternal aunt after a waiver was completed. A referral was done for a home study to the DCF Hyde Park Office on 9/23/2016 and the home study was assigned to Ms. Jeannie Serrano. Jeannie Serrano from the Hyde Park Office had been out to the home and made recommendations to foster mother about the home. During the home study and
In this report for Serious Topics Radio Station i will discuss the reasons why a child gets taken away from their parents/ guardian and need to be looked after. I will also talk about the short and long-term solutions. Children are generally best cared for within their own families. However, there are times when children aren't able to live with their families. If a child isn’t able to live with their parents, they may be taken to care.
These homes were created to provide a caring family environment for children whom Truett Cathy described as "victims of circumstances.”
Although, at this time, the current government policy had an emphasis on foster or adoption, recognising that the best option for children was to grow up within a family environment. However, without the necessary training, and assessment of the viability of prospective foster carers, placements often broke down, resulting in children moving to lots of different placements before finally ‘ending up in residential care. At this time, children had relatively no say in arrangements for their care or future, and often little or no contact with their birth family.
Based on the facts of the case, the observations and interviews conducted during the home study assessment, as well as contacts made with collateral references, this interviewer recommend the home as a potential placement and have identified the following strengths and areas of concern regarding the potential placement:

It is important to reassure children, young people and adults that any information kept about them is confidential and will only be used when necessary i.e. if a children is deemed to be at risk and that it is their right to privacy to keep it confidential, it should be made clear the reasons the information is collected and for what is will be used for. By reassuring parents and children it can make the situation a positive one in that they will understand the reasons are to ensure their safety at all times.
One way Maurice William’s faces problems in the foster homes is to have a meeting with every foster parent under their program every three months. In this meeting, all issues are discussed in great length and an appropriate procedure to deal with each specific problem are agreed upon and implemented so that the problems do not come up
