                        ―contains scenes of mom being held to the
                        floor & punched repeatedly‖
• The Child:
    • Shows sudden changes in behavior or school performance
    • Has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents' attention
    • Has learning problems (or difficulty concentrating) that cannot be attributed to specific physical
      or psychological causes
    • Is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen
    • Lacks adult supervision
    • Is overly compliant, passive, or withdrawn
    • Comes to school or other activities early, stays late, and does not want to go home
• The Parent:
    •   Shows little concern for the child
    •   Denies the existence of—or blames the child for—the child's problems in school or at home
    •   Asks teachers or other caregivers to use harsh physical discipline if the child misbehaves
    •   Sees the child as entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome
    •   Demands a level of physical or academic performance the child cannot achieve
    •   Looks primarily to the child for care, attention, and satisfaction of emotional needs
• The Parent and Child:
    • Rarely touch or look at each other
    • Consider their relationship entirely negative
    • State that they do not like each other

  http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/signs.cfm
• How many deaths per year?
  • Estimated 1,1700 child fatalities in 2009
• Who are the perpetrators
  • Individuals responsible for the care of the victims
  • ―in 2009, 75% of infant fatalities were caused by parents‖
• How do these deaths occur?
  • Fatal child abuse may involve repeated abuse over a period of
  time (e.g., battered child syndrome), or it may involve a single,
  impulsive incident (e.g., drowning, suffocating, or shaking a
  baby).
  • Fatal neglect, the child’s death results not from
  anything the caregiver does, but from a caregiver’s failure to act.




                                           http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/fatality.cfm
• Vision
  • To lead an integrated network of community partners that
    supports, protects, & strengthens children & families.
• Mission
  • To promote a system of best practice in partnership with the
    community, committed to prevention & early intervention, that
    ensures child safety, permanence & stability, family well-being, that
    is proactive, strategic, outcomes based, & fiscally responsible to
    the children & families served.



  “My goal as a social worker is to provide best practice in all my
  actions with my clients,” (Eva Torres, SWIII)
• ―…County of Fresno employees and community partners
  provide assessment, intervention, prevention, placement
  and mental health treatment services for infants, children,
  youth and families of Fresno County.‖




•   http://www.co.fresno.ca.us/DepartmentPage.aspx?id=23095
• Practice?
  • “Always strive for the best for the clients no matter the situation”
• Policy & Procedure?
  • The work of Child Welfare is directed by State and Federal Law
    which then guides Regulations and Policies in place at all levels,
    from the Federal level all the way down to the Local Agency level.
• Views of clients?
  • Treated with respect & dignity
  • Viewed as able to make change
• How SW make contact with clients & what that portrays?
  • Home calls
     • Most clients do not have transportation, SW make the effort to
       make contact where the client is located
Powerpoint2
• Negative stigma
• Bad reputation

“we (child welfare) are presented in the media as a result of
a child death or if anything else major and negative that
happens,” (Eva Torres, SWIII)
• Social Work:
  • ―The social work profession promotes social change, problem
    solving in human relationships and the empowerment & liberation
    of people to enhance well-being. Utilizing theories of human
    behavior & social systems, social work intervenes at the point
    where people interact with their environments. Principles of
    human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work.‖
• Values:
     •   1. Service
     •   2. Social Justice
     •   3. Dignity & worth of the person
     •   Importance of human rights
     •   Integrity
     •   Competence


I think that the social workers in my agency at the Department of Social Services
especially promote social work values when working with the children. Social
workers serve the children in taking them out of abusive situations, providing
resources for their family & parents to better care for their children, provide justice
to abused children, provide them with the knowledge that they are worthy, protect
their rights as children and do all of the above with competence.
• Social Justice:
     • ―Social workers have a responsibility to promote social justice, in
       relation to society generally, and in relation to the people whom they
       work with.‖ This means:

        •   Challenging negative discrimination
        •   Recognizing Diversity
        •   Distributing resources equitably
        •   Challenging unjust policies a practices
        •   Professional conduct

“Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice.“

“Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from
the resources afforded us by society and the environment."
• Human Rights:
  • ―Social work is based on respect for the inherent worth & dignity of
    people, & the rights that follow from this. Social workers should uphold &
    defend each person’s physical, psychological, emotional & spiritual
    integrity & well-being.‖ This Means:
      •   1. Respecting the right to self-determination
      •   2.Promoting the right to participation
      •   3. Treating each person as a whole
      •   4. Identifying & developing strengths
The social workers at my agency (DSS) often ask the client what their needs
are, provide them with referrals & resources, help them identify strengths
unknown to the client & then let the client take the action themselves. The
social workers are never disrespectful & continually look at the client as a
complete individual that needs a helping hand. When the client has thanked the
social worker for their success, the social workers at DSS often remind the client
that it was their strengths & determination that brought them to where they now.
Social workers in my agency also protect the rights of children daily by removing
them from abusive homes, or daily checking on children in the at-risk homes.

  • 6. • Abused Children (physical, sexual, emotional) • Neglect of Children • Parents • Domestic Abuse issues • Substance Abuse Issues • Poverty ―contains scenes of mom being held to the floor & punched repeatedly‖
  • 7. • The Child: • Shows sudden changes in behavior or school performance • Has not received help for physical or medical problems brought to the parents' attention • Has learning problems (or difficulty concentrating) that cannot be attributed to specific physical or psychological causes • Is always watchful, as though preparing for something bad to happen • Lacks adult supervision • Is overly compliant, passive, or withdrawn • Comes to school or other activities early, stays late, and does not want to go home • The Parent: • Shows little concern for the child • Denies the existence of—or blames the child for—the child's problems in school or at home • Asks teachers or other caregivers to use harsh physical discipline if the child misbehaves • Sees the child as entirely bad, worthless, or burdensome • Demands a level of physical or academic performance the child cannot achieve • Looks primarily to the child for care, attention, and satisfaction of emotional needs • The Parent and Child: • Rarely touch or look at each other • Consider their relationship entirely negative • State that they do not like each other http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/signs.cfm
  • 8. • How many deaths per year? • Estimated 1,1700 child fatalities in 2009 • Who are the perpetrators • Individuals responsible for the care of the victims • ―in 2009, 75% of infant fatalities were caused by parents‖ • How do these deaths occur? • Fatal child abuse may involve repeated abuse over a period of time (e.g., battered child syndrome), or it may involve a single, impulsive incident (e.g., drowning, suffocating, or shaking a baby). • Fatal neglect, the child’s death results not from anything the caregiver does, but from a caregiver’s failure to act. http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/fatality.cfm
  • 9. • Vision • To lead an integrated network of community partners that supports, protects, & strengthens children & families. • Mission • To promote a system of best practice in partnership with the community, committed to prevention & early intervention, that ensures child safety, permanence & stability, family well-being, that is proactive, strategic, outcomes based, & fiscally responsible to the children & families served. “My goal as a social worker is to provide best practice in all my actions with my clients,” (Eva Torres, SWIII)
  • 10. • ―…County of Fresno employees and community partners provide assessment, intervention, prevention, placement and mental health treatment services for infants, children, youth and families of Fresno County.‖ • http://www.co.fresno.ca.us/DepartmentPage.aspx?id=23095
  • 11. • Practice? • “Always strive for the best for the clients no matter the situation” • Policy & Procedure? • The work of Child Welfare is directed by State and Federal Law which then guides Regulations and Policies in place at all levels, from the Federal level all the way down to the Local Agency level. • Views of clients? • Treated with respect & dignity • Viewed as able to make change • How SW make contact with clients & what that portrays? • Home calls • Most clients do not have transportation, SW make the effort to make contact where the client is located
  • 13. • Negative stigma • Bad reputation “we (child welfare) are presented in the media as a result of a child death or if anything else major and negative that happens,” (Eva Torres, SWIII)
  • 14. • Social Work: • ―The social work profession promotes social change, problem solving in human relationships and the empowerment & liberation of people to enhance well-being. Utilizing theories of human behavior & social systems, social work intervenes at the point where people interact with their environments. Principles of human rights and social justice are fundamental to social work.‖
  • 15. • Values: • 1. Service • 2. Social Justice • 3. Dignity & worth of the person • Importance of human rights • Integrity • Competence I think that the social workers in my agency at the Department of Social Services especially promote social work values when working with the children. Social workers serve the children in taking them out of abusive situations, providing resources for their family & parents to better care for their children, provide justice to abused children, provide them with the knowledge that they are worthy, protect their rights as children and do all of the above with competence.
  • 16. • Social Justice: • ―Social workers have a responsibility to promote social justice, in relation to society generally, and in relation to the people whom they work with.‖ This means: • Challenging negative discrimination • Recognizing Diversity • Distributing resources equitably • Challenging unjust policies a practices • Professional conduct “Universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice.“ “Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment."
  • 17. • Human Rights: • ―Social work is based on respect for the inherent worth & dignity of people, & the rights that follow from this. Social workers should uphold & defend each person’s physical, psychological, emotional & spiritual integrity & well-being.‖ This Means: • 1. Respecting the right to self-determination • 2.Promoting the right to participation • 3. Treating each person as a whole • 4. Identifying & developing strengths The social workers at my agency (DSS) often ask the client what their needs are, provide them with referrals & resources, help them identify strengths unknown to the client & then let the client take the action themselves. The social workers are never disrespectful & continually look at the client as a complete individual that needs a helping hand. When the client has thanked the social worker for their success, the social workers at DSS often remind the client that it was their strengths & determination that brought them to where they now. Social workers in my agency also protect the rights of children daily by removing them from abusive homes, or daily checking on children in the at-risk homes.
