Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child welfare personnel repeatedly move a lesbian youth from one inappropriate placement to another, subjecting her to constant rejection and discrimination and depriving her of a permanent home or family; Detention facility staff place a gay youth in isolation "for his own protection," depriving him of education, recreation, companionship, or other programming and services; Line staff in a group home fail to intervene when residents harass and abuse a transgender youth because they believe he "asked for it" by being open about his gender identity. These disturbingly common practices illustrate the serious problems in the care of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. The lack of professional guidance related to youths' sexual identities has left a vacuum that is often filled by harmful, discriminatory practices based on personal biases rather than informed, evidence-based policies. The best practice guidelines in this book will improve outcomes for youth with accurate, up-to-date information about the best practices for providing competent services to youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). The "Best Practices Guidelines" after opening with an acknowledgments and introduction section offers eight chapters as follows: (1) LGBT Youth in Out-of-Home Care; (2) Creating an Inclusive Organizational Culture; (3) A Family-Centered Approach to Serving LGBT Youth; (4) Promoting Positive Adolescent Development; (5) Collecting and Managing Confidential Information; (6) Ensuring Appropriate Homes for LGBT Youth; (7) LGBT Youth in Institutional Settings; and (8) Providing Appropriate Health, Mental Health, and Education Services to LGBT Youth. The "Guidelines" conclude with appendices (1) Model Standards Project Staff; and (2) Model Standards Project Advisory Committee; a glossary; and a list of references.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of a national discussion regarding behavior management in child and youth care settings, and in an effort to address the need to care safely and appropriately for children and youth, the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) formed the National Task Force on Behavior Management. The task force includes representatives of advocacy groups, consumer groups, CWLA's member agencies, accrediting bodies, and others with expertise in residential group care, foster care, child day care, and juvenile justice. This book contains the resulting CWLA guidelines, providing practical guidance to child welfare agencies. The guidelines are designed for use in all areas of the child welfare field, from improving practice at a program level to revising behavior management standards for accreditation. Chapter 1 of the book presents the ethical and legal framework for behavior management practices. Chapter 2 details best practices concerning implementation and maintenance of a comprehensive behavior management system, including system-wide administration and provider leadership. Chapter 3 provides guidelines for a continuum of behavior management interventions, including individualized service planning, selection of behavior intervention models, de-escalation methods, and physical interventions. Chapter 4 concerns guidelines on the use of restraint and seclusion. Chapter 5 discusses guidelines for professional development and support for staff and caregivers. Three appendices list members of the best practice task force, the guidelines reviewers, and the CWLA staff and consultants. A glossary of relevant terms is included. (Contains 29 references and 32 additional resources.) (KB)

This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CWLA's Best Practice Guidelines for Children Missing from Care provides agencies with an effective tool to develop administrative policies, procedures, and case practices that will decrease the likelihood of children going missing from out-of-home care; establish a coordinated and effective response to instances in which children do go missing; and ensure that once children are returned to care they, their caregivers, and their birthfamilies receive necessary and appropriate services and supports. These guidelines provide direction to child welfare agencies responsible for the care of children in out-of-home care, both in family foster care and in group and residential settings. They were prepared in conjunction, and go hand in hand, with guidelines for law enforcement agencies on children missing from care developed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the inception of its program of Standards development, CWLA has formulated a series of Standards based on current knowledge, the developmental needs of children, and tested ways of meeting these needs effectively. The preparation of Standards involves an examination of current practices and the assumptions on which they are based; a survey of professional literature and standards developed by other groups; and a study of the most recent scientific findings of social work and related fields, such as child development, education, mental health, psychology, medicine, psychiatry, and sociology, as they bear on child welfare practice. The final formulation of each Standards volume follows extended discussion of principles and issues by committees of experts in each service, the drafting of a preliminary statement, and a critical review by CWLA member agencies and representatives of related professions and other national organizations. The format of each volume is similar: each Standard isnumbered, with subsumed elaboration, and is also cross-referenced and indexed. Standards volumes are three-hole punched, with their own cover/divider and identifying tab, and are packaged individually. Binders are available for purchase separately.

This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child welfare is the oldest specialization within social work practice and the only specialty area in which social work is the host profession. This edited volume provides a unique and comprehensive overview of practice issues relevant to contemporary child welfare professionals entering the field as well as those already working in direct service and management positions. This book’s emphasis on systemic, integrated, and evidence-informed practices at the individual, family, and organizational level is in keeping with child welfare’s core mission of child protection, family support, and permanency for youth. This volume also explores the challenges and opportunities present in a contemporary practice environment, which are driven by the attainment of defined outcomes, fiscal limitations, and the need for an informed professionalized child welfare workforce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using both historical and contemporary contexts, The Child Welfare Challenge examines major policy practice and research issues as they jointly shape child welfare practice and its future. This text focuses on families and children whose primary recourse to services has been through publicly funded child welfare agencies, and considers historical areas of service—foster care and adoptions, in-home family-centered services, child-protective services, and residential treatment services—where social work has an important role. This fourth edition features new content on child maltreatment and prevention that is informed by key conceptual frameworks informed by brain science, public health, and other research. This edition uses cross-sector data and more sophisticated predictive and other analytical processes to enhance planning and practice design. The authors have streamlined content on child protective services (CPS) to allow for new chapters on juvenile justice/cross-over youth, and international innovations, as well as more content on biology and brain science. The fourth edition includes a glossary of terms as well as instructor and student resource papers available online.

Download or read book When Kids Get Arrested written by Sandra Simkins and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, millions of children across the country get arrested. What most adults do not know is that the juvenile justice system has become much more punitive in the last fifteen years. No longer is juvenile court a place where regardless of what happens you get a clean slate when you turn eighteen. Today almost every adjudication of delinquency is accompanied by adult-style fingerprinting, prior record score points, and DNA tests that can stay in a state repository for years. For every stage of the justice system, from arrest to expungement, When Kids Get Arrested gives "top tips" to help adults make the best choices to protect children from long-term negative consequences. Sandra Simkins provides straight answers to common questions such as: Should I let my child talk to the police without a lawyer? How can I help my child succeed on probation? Should my child admit to the charges or take the case to trial? How will this case impact my child's future? Will it prevent him from getting a job or going into the army? My child has mental health issues. Can the juvenile justice system help? My daughter is out of control. Should I call the police? My son got arrested at school and is now suspended. What should I do next? Simkins takes complicated legal concepts and breaks them down into easy-to-understand guidelines. She includes information on topics such as police interrogation, detention hearings, and bail, along with state-by-state specifics. When Kids Get Arrested is a perfect resource for parents, social workers, guidance counselors, teachers, principals, coaches, and anyone else who works with children.
