The home is currently expanding services to New Jersey and Rhode Island by 2015. This report plan identifies there is a need to improve the home's information and database management systems to cater for the increased demand. An assessment of the current is done by interviewing employees and managers to identify areas of need in information flow between the various levels of organizational structure. A use-case model of the departments, offices, managers, staff, and functions is created to map out the flow of information. These methods identify the home has a poor flow of information, poor recording, reporting, and management of information, no coordination of information management, and a lack of skills and knowledge in the use of technology among the staff. The key actors in the environment were identified through laying out the
Child Advocacy Center development has been closely related to the approaches we have been introduced to in this course. Creating protocols for community impact, sustainability and growth have all occurred as this Child Advocacy has developed in my community. In my work it is very important to keep the families and victims we serve at the forefront of our decision making. Each policy, program and renovation is made with how it will impact the families we serve over how it will benefit us. Our program has followed the Principles of Good Practice at times and failed to follow them also. Each program/project has a little of this I believe. In this paper, I will go through each principle and identify how the CAC program has met the standard or identify
In order to run a childcare service there is a need to retain a large amount of information on each child.
1. The sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth to 19 are the following:
We discuss changes and will where possible include staff and service users in the drafting and development of a home's policies and procedures normally in team/residents meetings this makes people more interested and they feel involved. Service users have access to relevant policies, procedures and codes of practice in appropriate formats and staff explain them to service users using relevant and appropriate methods of communication.
Furthermore, the content of the bill to a certain extent is clear and organized. The bill has labeled the population in need, the details of placement time frames, the population responsible for implementing the bill, and briefly discussed under what circumstances extensions are allowed. Although, this bill has provided general information there are many gaps within it. First, the bill does not address how the child stay would be logged and who would be in charge of that. If this is established, there needs to be a specific system created to log the days of each child residing in these homes that is under the age of 12. This would allow there to be clear and organized data that the caseworker could utilize in their planning. Also, this system
When educators in a childcare centre can examine their written documentation on each child, they are able to realize which methods and programs are a success and the ones that need improvement. Through this, the centre can offer the best possible programs and teaching methods to fit their children's needs and circumstances. Without proper record keeping, the centre would have no way to re-examine its actions.
Darci and I are planning our foster care recruitment for the 2016-2017 year. We are in search for local church partnerships and to expand our demographic as well. We both know you were involved with Harrison Bethel Church and we were wondering if we could get a lead or a contact person that we can discuss a future
Juvenile courts were established by each state. However, there was a need for federal action to go beyond the responsibilities of the fledgling juvenile courts in order to better the lot of children across the country. The early part of the 20th century was a time when children of all races still worked under inhumane conditions in mines, mills and factories (U.S. Department of Labor, 2016). The mills and factories were often little better than sweatshops and children were paid mere pennies a day for their labor (Foote, 1976). Recognizing this, Congress passed a law, and President William Howard Taft signed it, establishing the Children’s Bureau as a new federal organization in 1912.
Program effectiveness through anecdotal records will be done through the recording of how the children have progressed or remained the same from enrollment to current time. Using anecdotal records will also help me to be able to communicate with families about their children and to ask for assistance in the home if it is
If it wasn't a good setting/place the parent wouldn't be bothered to come there next time, the parent may be thinking it's a useless place. I can develop and maintain relationships with them by inviting them into the setting to see something or to help with something for example the parent might come to the setting and see the children doing cooking/baking. You can get parent in by calling them on the phone and explain to them what it's about as for some parent may not know to speak English or understand it, I could get a translator which speaks the parent language, so the translator can explain to the parent about it. This maintains relationships because it keeps the parent aware of what their child is been up to in the setting.
Child welfare is a one of the programs of HHS and who uses strategic management processes to help analyze data that will help in the developing of resources that would be made available for clients use. The child welfare program of HHS offer services that includes counseling, financial assistance, support methods, and family services. As an advantage of services, child welfare innovative methods that encourages practice with improvement and systems changes. The Child welfare practice models however, does emphasize on family-centered practice (Casey. 2012).
Turning Points for Children (TPFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social service agency that services children and families throughout the city of Philadelphia. Through providing a variety of services and programs, they envision a thriving community for all (www.turningpointsforchildren.org, 2016). Their mission is to support families in raising safe, healthy, educated and strong children by partnering with caregivers to develop and strengthen protective qualities and by offering them the tools, skills and resources they need to ensure their children’s optimal development (www.turningpointsforchildren.org, 2016). This Organizational Capacity Assessment will focus on the Community Umbrella Agency 3 (CUA 3), one of the largest programs that the agency offers. I currently am employed as a Visitation Coach at this CUA. My analysis will detail how the services of the CUA are part of the overall vision and mission of Turning Points for Children.
In 2013, Dorota Slawa Mankowska et al, worked on real study for a home care company that present the care for the at patients in their homes by staff members. They developed the mathematical model that aim to optimizing economical service cost and take care about individual qualifications of the staff, time preferences of patients, number of the staff required to this patient and certain time of patient’s drugs. This model has been able to achieve low average waiting times for patients, low traveling cost for caregivers, a fair distribution of inevitable tardiness, and service hundred patients in acceptable runtime.
Working with children takes a certain level of adaptability in itself, but, working with children in a company that has absolutely no structure is a framework for disaster. However, planning for a process or a process-driven change intervention and task alignment for many companies have yielded successful results. For example, Jon Meliones, the hospital's chief medical director, was intricate in the three year turnaround and transformation at Duke University Children's Hospital
