My Advocacy Goal With Children 's Administration

Many professionals within education and other areas of expertise argue about whether or not government intervention is mainly a positive or negative thing. I intend to discuss and hopefully come to a conclusion regarding how effective interventions are within the United Kingdom and I am going to explore the success of such interventions. The government intervention that I will be studying is; Every Child Matters (2003) (ECM).

The organization under investigation is Child Protective Services, also referred to as CPS, which is an agency within the Department of Family and Protective Services. CPS is a governmental organization that has existed for years. The agency is designed to protect children from abuse and neglect. There are numerous cases that are called in on a daily basis in the state of Texas, and it is the duty of state employees to address all allegations in a timely manner. The positions held as a caseworker within the agency are either Investigator, Special Investigator, Family Based Safety Services Specialist, or Conservatorship Specialist. Due to the required work and deadlines involved with being a caseworker at CPS, the job can become very

It is important for the children at my workplace to feel safe and protected from any harm or neglect and we show that we support them though these situations.

I am a qualified Childcare Practitioner with 12 years’ experience, who would love the opportunity to embark on a career as a Primary Teacher. I am currently employed in a local authority pre-five nursery class within a Primary School. I aspire to become a teacher as I feel it will offer me new challenges and a chance to further develop my love of teaching. I am a dedicated worker and continually strive to provide high standards. I also promote confidence, respect and compassion to ensure all members of the nursery and school are respected.

1. Identify the most significant boundary issue(s) or “circumstances where social workers encounter actual or potential conflicts between their social, sexual, religious or business relationships” (Reamer, 2003) exhibited by the worker in this case. Justify your answer with specific evidence from the case AND the NASW Code of Ethics.

Policies and procedures are set in place to not only protect children and young people but also adults who work with them. It is vital that all professionals follow safe working practices to ensure that not only children are protected but also themselves. I have chosen to talk about in a childcare setting for this unit. An example is, if a disclosure is made by a child to a member of staff, it is vital that it is always taken seriously even if it is proven to be untrue or inaccurate. The child or young person should be listened

I have over 20 years with working children from at-risk adolescents, group homes, teacher assisted, and driving a school bus. The 20 plus years working with children, I have learned to be multitask as assisting children with homework, participate with daily activities such as art & craft to playing in/outside sports, and preparing lunch/dinner. I have work at Devereux of Florida, The Grove, and now present employed at Seminole County Public Schools. The skills I have to successfully fill this position is providing Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security for every children. I can also help and supervise students with math or any assignments to make sure he or she complete their task. I have skills in customer service, knowledge in Microsoft

In any child care setting, staff or volunteers can cover anything that affects the safety and wellbeing of a child or young person. For example: a manager has a good relationship with a family whose child attends the nursery. Several members of staff have reported the abuse of neglect to the manager concerning the child. The manager brushes the issue off and replies “I’ve known the family for years; they would never neglect the child”. The neglect continues and the child has become isolated from the children as their clothing has a strange smell. The practioner

For 30 years, advocates, program administrators, and politicians have joined to encourage even more reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. Their efforts have been successful, with about three million cases of suspected child abuse having been reported in 1993. Large numbers of endangered children still go unreported, but a serious problem had developed: Upon investigation, as many as 65 percent or the reports now being made are determined to be "unsubstantiated", raising serious civil liberties concerns and placing a huge burden on investigative staffs.

After completing my child life internship experience at Norton Healthcare, which was comprehensive, unique, and diverse, I have been able to take a step back and see which rotations and which hospital environment I preferred and which I fit into best. I believe that it is important that a child life specialist is aware of where they best fit in the hospital environment based on his or her training, background, and personality. This can aid in eliminating burnout and turnover rates, because if a child life specialist is in the correct area they will be less likely to leave their current placement or switch units. However, I realize that with the current employment opportunities available in the field of child life that finding your preferred

This past week, two failed cases occurred days in between each other. Eight-year-old Michelle Moore was found in what has been deemed a homicide in her Newark home and twelve-year-old, Genesis Rincon was arrested for possession of narcotics with intent to distribute. These two clients were both supposed to be under the supervision of our case managers. Upon the conduction of an internal review from our Inspector General, it was found that not only did these caseworkers have a higher amount of absenteeism regarding client check-ups but one of the caseworkers is romantically involved with her superior - an Assistant Commissioner who was recently transferred from a different department.

The Term topic I chose to research about is Child Welfare Services. This topic has a variety of different regulations and forms that makes this program run. Child Welfare Services have been around for quite some time and has been helping out as much as they are allowed to. This program has a time line of many important events that all build up the Child Welfare program.

Throughout my 13-year career in the Human Services field, spending the majority of that time working with adolescent girls in residential treatment facilities, I am very much aware of the risks that exist with regard to sexual relationships between professionals and clients. In that time, it came to my attention that at least three employees at programs where I was employed had sexual relationships with clients. In addition to the ethical issues that arose from these situations, all of the clients were under 18 years of age so the actions of these employees had legal ramifications. Many of our clients had been victims of sexual abuse prior to admission into our program. I always viewed our programs as safe places where clients would be treated with respect and could develop strong therapeutic relationships with both their counselors and program staff members. Unfortunately, the actions of a few had a detrimental effect on our programs and also the lives of our clients. Having dealt with these issues and focusing on ethical decision-making throughout my education and professional career, the ethical dilemma of

First off, lets take a closer look at what the problem is here. Alex Washington was appointed by the governor to be the commissioner for the Public Service Department. He would be the second person appointed by the governor since his term began (Joseph, 2014). The case study highlights that Alex had previously heard rumors regarding the position, but he figured it was just criticism. After accepting the job, he began to receive letters of concern from the staff and constituents. This case study highlights three particular letters that stood out for the commissioner.

Ethical practise is difficult to properly define. “Caseworkers, supervisors, and other staff should be guided by an overarching set of ethical standards that inform their decision-making and conduct when working with children, youth, and families. Relationships with clients and colleagues should be based on mutual respect, commitment, and honesty, and should take into consideration cultural differences and the right to privacy.” (U.S Department of Health and Human
