Concerns that were brought to my attention: o Diane the perception in your office is that you are too the friendly with staff. This perceived friendship also gives the perception that workers come to you to find out what was said in our MTM/conference calls with APCS and/or to gossip about other APCW or APCS. If this is the case I advise you to redirect staff that are not under your supervision to their supervisor for any questions that they may have, especially if their supervisor is in the office. If their supervisor is not in the office, I advise you to triage the situation to see if it is something that can wait until their supervisor returns or if needs to be handled immediately. • If it is something that needs to be handled immediately …show more content…

1. The transition from officer to supervisor is difficult and sometimes isolating. Discuss some issues that complicate the transition. I think some issues that complicate the transition is the fact that the officer had a personal relationship with his coworkers where they saw him as a peer. Due to that relationship, he previously acted and spoke without a filter. The officer now will have to deal with “things” from his past being brought up. Having more tenure officers passed by for the promotion also complicates the situation. Most people would imagine that an officer with more experience would be promoted first. However, they don’t stop to think that being a chief requires more than just experience.

The first incident I talked about in P4 was suspected or actual abuse, the responses I listed for this incident include first and foremost keeping and maintaining the dignity of the victim as they are your main priority. This is the most effective and satisfactory response for this type of incident because maintaining the dignity of the service user allows them to stay confident regardless of the situation they’ve been in. This would help medical professionals and individuals from higher authorities figure out more about the incident if the victim is more willing to share information and details which can help catch the individual(s) at fault and prevent this from happening again, but this can only happen if the service user is helped to a successful road to recovery after their
So it is important for social workers to avoid assumption and a discriminatory practice. There are many theories can provide an exploration to child abuse like the psychodynamic or socio-biological or a families disfunctioning theories, but sometimes their maybe multiple reasons and theories to child abuse. A social worker may identify the risk factors causing abuse and keep in mind that some families are more vulnerable than others. Depending on agencies that are dealing with the family, different personal will attend a child protection conference (social workers, police, parents/carers, nurses, teachers, housing welfare, etc). It is down to the local authority to do their investigation into suspected child abuse, under confidentiality, and cooperate with different agencies to prevent this issue. Guide and procedures should be adapted in individual cases, they are produced by the area child protection committee (ACPC) through a handbook that is distributed to a social worker and professionals who engage in child protection; the ACPC role is to asses co-working issues, identify agencies training needs, that establish a strong links between agencies, promote a good practice and review the information regarding the operation of child protection register and publish an annual report.
