Book excerpt: From the Preface: This manual, Child Protective Services: A Guide for Caseworkers, examines the roles and responsibilities of child protective services (CPS) workers, who are at the forefront of every community's child protection efforts. The manual describes the basic stages of the CPS process and the steps necessary to accomplish each stage: intake, initial assessment or investigation, family assessment, case planning, service provision, evaluation of family progress, and case closure. Best practices and critical issues in casework practice are underscored throughout. The primary audience for this manual includes CPS caseworkers, supervisors, and administrators. State and local CPS agency trainers may use the manual for preservice or inservice training of CPS caseworkers, while schools of social work may add it to class reading lists to orient students to the field of child protection. In addition, other professionals and concerned community members may consult the manual for a greater understanding of the child protection process. This manual builds on the information presented in A Coordinated Response to Child Abuse and Neglect: The Foundation for Practice. Readers are encouraged to begin with that manual as it addresses important information on which CPS practice is based-including definitions of child maltreatment, risk factors, consequences, and the Federal and State basis for intervention. Some manuals in the series also may be of interest in understanding the roles of other professional groups in responding to child abuse and neglect, including: Substance abuse treatment providers; Domestic violence victim advocates; Educators; Law enforcement personnel. Other manuals address special issues, such as building partnerships and working with the courts on CPS cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the CPS decision-making process is of great importance to child welfare practice because of the need to better understand factors affecting the recommendations for service made by CPS workers. This study explored the CPS worker's recommendations for services in child abuse and neglect situations (dependent variable) and its relationship to factors believed to influence these decisions---the personal characteristics of CPS workers; their degree of adherence to agency's policies and procedures and common practices, and workers' perceptions of clients' willingness to voluntarily cooperate with service (independent variables). Additional analyses focused on the level of certainty about the CPS situations and compared caseworkers and supervisors. The study sought to answer four questions about factors believed to influence CPS services decisions and to test ten hypotheses (seven were related to workers' individual characteristics, two were related to agency factors, and one related to clients' factors) that were formulated as a result of an extensive literature review in child protective services and on the researcher's observations of CPS fieldwork. Of the seven workers' characteristics examined only age and ethnicity were found to relate to the levels of service recommendations. Of interest is the fact that older workers in contrast what had been anticipated, chose more severe actions for the simulated CPS situations in the study. The findings also showed that African American and Hispanic workers differ from White workers in the severity of service recommendations. African Americans and Hispanics showed a similar disposition to select the more severe types of service. Both of the hypotheses related to agency's factors, policies and procedures and common practice, presented in the null form were confirmed. This investigation surveyed a sample of 150 New York City child protective services caseworkers and supervisors to obtain opinions and judgments about cases and situations typical of the work they do, a perspective rarely discussed in the literature.

Book Synopsis No Way to Treat a Child by : Naomi Schaefer Riley
Download or read book No Way to Treat a Child written by Naomi Schaefer Riley and published by Bombardier Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kids in danger are treated instrumentally to promote the rehabilitation of their parents, the welfare of their communities, and the social justice of their race and tribe—all with the inevitable result that their most precious developmental years are lost in bureaucratic and judicial red tape. It is time to stop letting efforts to fix the child welfare system get derailed by activists who are concerned with race-matching, blood ties, and the abstract demands of social justice, and start asking the most important question: Where are the emotionally and financially stable, loving, and permanent homes where these kids can thrive? “Naomi Riley’s book reveals the extent to which abused and abandoned children are often injured by their government rescuers. It is a must-read for those seeking solutions to this national crisis.” —Robert L. Woodson, Sr., civil rights leader and president of the Woodson Center “Everyone interested in child welfare should grapple with Naomi Riley’s powerful evidence that the current system ill-serves the safety and well-being of vulnerable kids.” —Walter Olson, senior fellow, Cato Institute, Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies
Book Synopsis A Study of Compassion and Job Satisfaction Among Erie County's Child Protective Services Caseworkers by : Sharon L. Rochelle
Download or read book A Study of Compassion and Job Satisfaction Among Erie County's Child Protective Services Caseworkers written by Sharon L. Rochelle and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When high profile child fatalities with previous Erie County Child Protection Services (CPS) involvement generated considerable negative media commentary questioning the competency of CPS, there was concern over the mental well-being of CPS caseworkers. Furthermore, a key problem to be resolved was the high turnover of CPS caseworkers, which is both a budgetary drain on the County due to the training costs involved with new caseworkers, but also deprives the Department of Social Services of experienced family and child welfare personnel. This study seeks to understand factors negatively affecting the CPS caseworkers. Previous research indicate that human service workers exposed to traumatic events can experience a reduction in compassion satisfaction and an increase in vicarious trauma and burnout. Government human services administration tends to be organized under the traditional public administration model of a rigid hierarchy in authority and decision making with tight supervisory structures and little opportunity (or encouragement) of opinions from front-line workers, which also can reduce CPS worker job satisfaction. Other potentially negative factors identified in the literature include perceptions of safety, the workplace environment, and supervisory styles. This study of Erie County CPS caseworkers utilized a convergent parallel mixed methods research design in order to analyze compassion satisfaction, burnout, and vicarious trauma (ProQOL instrument) and workplace safety and environment, organizational structure, and supervisory styles (focus groups). A single sample t-test conducted on the ProQOL results revealed that Compassion Satisfaction among the respondents was statistically significant (lower than the population mean) while Vicarious Trauma and Burnout were not statistically significant from the population mean. The qualitative phase (focus groups with CPS workers) uncovered significant dissatisfaction among CPS workers with respect to organizational factors, supervisory styles, and safety and environment. This study found that CPS was organized according to the traditional (hierarchical) public administration model in which CPS caseworkers were not empowered to have a voice within their agency and were not invited to participate in the policy-making process. Furthermore, it was found that CPS supervisors and front line staff were not trained in Trauma Informed Care practices. Thus, it was concluded that counterproductive organizational practices within Erie County have produced negative outcomes for the workers and may be a greater source of caseworker turnover than either the nature of the job itself or the recent negative perceptions of Erie County's CPS division.
