OUTLINE
It is important to ensure that children under the foster system
care receive undying love and care from the people assigned
different jobs in the system. There has been lots of research
developed on the issue the primary concern being on child
welfare in the human profession based on the foster care
systems.
Thesis statement: assessment of the child well-being in the
personal business based on the foster care systems.

2. I. Introduction
Being under the care of people in shelters does not guarantee
the safety or rather efficient welfare for children since there are
challenges they face, and it is equally important to focus on the
issues. In that case, the caregivers must assume the role of a
mother and meet their responsibilities regardless of the
difficulties. However, at times, it is usually contrary from these,
and instead, the caregivers make the lives of these children
miserable.
II. Child welfare under foster cares systems overview
A. Introduction
i. Individuals involved; The article pays attention to the foster
system caregivers and their significant responsibilities to
vulnerable children. To offer support and facilitate foster
caregivers it is significant to have an insight on ways they
perceive and meet their responsibilities. The analysis was
conducted through interview conduction on twenty women who
have the responsibility to offer care to the children in the foster
homes in Australia. From the examination, these women see
themselves as mothers to these kids rather than paid employees.
The article also reveals the difficulties and challenges
participants go through when taking care of these children in
the foster systems. The paper offers crucial information on the
challenges the employee in the children welfare foster systems
go through, and it will help in making comparisons.
ii. Foster system regulations; There are challenges that children
in the foster systems go through, and this article points out one
of these, which is maltreatment in foster care. The article draws
on a crucial review of a study published in America, the UK,
and Australia. The evidence that exists on this issue is
inconclusive though the limited available information implies
that maltreatment may be recorded for up to two percent of the
kids in foster systems annually. The primary focus of the article
is of the perpetrators and the abuse nature and the substantiation
problems. The article is of importance in this research because
it outlines the challenges in the foster care system and the

3. factors that increase these risks on the children and what can be
done to correct the situation.
iii. Conditions for a child to be under the foster care system;
Different reasons make children be placed in the foster care,
such as physical assault, sexual experiences, emotional, or
psychological abuse. However, there is no guarantee that the
children in the foster care systems will receive exclusive
services and will not experience similar challenges. It means
that these children are exposed to similar risks, and the service
systems provide both difficulties and opportunities for increased
standard implementation of the interventions. The article
provides this discussion in details and the importance to
understand the vulnerabilities and the risks that these children
are exposed to and the importance of increased interventions.
The people responsible for smooth running need to ensure that
resilience is prompted through interventions programs and this
piece of information serves right for my research because it
outlines what must be made to improve child welfare.
III. Children in the foster care systems will indicate an
increased incidence of insecure connection than children who
have been brought up in the home.
A. The quality of attachment differences will be because of the
daily separation between the kid and the parent.
i. Quality attachment research has indicated that parental
sensitivity and connection are primary determinants of
attachment quality.
a. Essential and consistent sensitivity and responsiveness are
connected to securing attachment
b. Insecure-ambivalent attachment results in inconsistent
sensitivity and responsiveness.
IV. Responsibilities of the caregivers in the foster system
towards children; We are aware of the importance of children
protection and the importance of healthy care of children in a
foster care system. The article examines three models of
coordination between the kid welfare services, and enforcement
of law organizations on investigating child maltreatment, and

4. analyzes the relative effect of every type on child withdrawal
and short period foster care placements. In the foster care
system, the primary attention is paid to a child welfare, and it is
important to ensure that everything if efficiently done. Though
the article offers crucial information on the topic, another
important aspect is the recommendations that the author puts
forward in line with improving the child protection
examinations and lowering the application of short periods care
placements. In that case, it will be easy to discuss what need to
be done to reduce the risks the children’s exposure in the foster
care systems.
A. Assignment of responsibilities
B. Difficulties and challenges participants go through when
taking care of these kids in the child welfare foster systems
C. Challenges in the foster care system and factors that increase
these risks on children
D. Recommendation on correcting the situation
V. Role of active communication in the child welfare systems;
In making the decisions on whether to refer the patient to a
mental health facility, a child welfare employee will have to
process complex information. There is less research on the
decision support system when it comes to child welfare though
these systems have been demonstrated in other sectors to be a
valuable tool. In this case, the article applies complete design in
explaining the innovation process diffusion among some state
child welfare employees. On the other hand, a qualitative design
was used by the author in describing the facilitators and
challenges to the decision support systems. It is important to
have these systems integrated into the child welfare system, and
the article will be relevant in explaining the initiatives that are
critical to ensuring efficiency in the foster care systems.
A. Employees-management connection/communication
B. Communication approaches important in a child-care system
i. Comprehensive communication and engagement
VI. Factors that lead to children placement in the foster
systems; Different reasons make children be placed in the foster

5. care, such as physical assault, sexual experiences, emotional, or
psychological abuse. However, there is no guarantee that the
children in the foster care systems will receive exclusive
services and will not experience similar challenges. It means
that these children are exposed to similar risks, and the service
systems provide both difficulties and opportunities for increased
standard implementation of the interventions. The article
provides this discussion in details and the importance to
understand the vulnerabilities and the risks that these children
are exposed to and the importance of increased interventions.
The people responsible for smooth running need to ensure that
resilience is prompted through interventions programs and this
piece of information serves right for my research because it
outlines what must be made to improve child welfare.

The article pays attention to the foster system caregivers and
their significant responsibilities to vulnerable children. To offer
support and facilitate foster caregivers it is significant to have
an insight on ways they perceive and meet their responsibilities.
The analysis was conducted through interview conduction on
twenty women who have the responsibility to offer care to the
children in the foster homes in Australia. From the examination,
these women see themselves as mothers to these kids rather than
paid employees. The article also reveals the difficulties and
challenges participants go through when taking care of these
children in the foster systems. The paper offers crucial
information on the challenges the employee in the children
welfare foster systems go through, and it will help in making
comparisons.

There are challenges that children in the foster systems go
through, and this article points out one of these, which is
maltreatment in foster care. The article draws on a crucial
review of a study published in America, the UK, and Australia.
The evidence that exists on this issue is inconclusive though the

10. limited available information implies that maltreatment may be
recorded for up to two percent of the kids in foster systems
annually. The primary focus of the article is of the perpetrators
and the abuse nature and the substantiation problems. The
article is of importance in this research because it outlines the
challenges in the foster care system and the factors that increase
these risks on the children and what can be done to correct the
situation.

Effective communication is an important aspect of every
initiative and project because the success of the organization of
the agencies will depend on it. In that case, it means that child-
welfare employees need to ensure to communicate effectively
and engage with the management and administration. The article
analyzes the communication approaches that need to be present
in a child-care system. The author conducted the study through
interviewing the employees of a foster care facility, and two
communication strategies were explained. It is clear that with
comprehensive communication and engagement the objectives
of a child-welfare system are easy to achieve. In that case, the
article will be relevant in explaining the importance of effective
communication in foster care systems to the employees and the
success of the systems.

The foster care system holds children of different race and skin
color, but the numbers are not proportional. Scores of children
who find themselves in the foster care system are Native

11. American and black Americans. The article offers a detailed
preview of the picture in the foster systems and the challenges
that these children go through. It is evident that even in the
children foster care systems; they are treated and mistreated
based on their color and origin. The article outlines the intense
debate that has been on the risk the children get exposed to at
their homes or do they become targets once they are placed in
the foster homes. The report is of importance because it outlines
the challenges that children of color experience and how racism
affects child welfare in the foster care system.

It is important to ensure that there is an efficient flow of
information between the people involved in the foster care
system for the well-being of the child. In that case, several
initiatives can be put forward and implemented. The article
explains the situation through the use of a case study through
exploration in the introduction of an internet-based strategy.
The plan is anticipated to be of help for both the child and the
family. It is important for the people close to the child to ensure
that they keep in touch, and this service might be the solution to
the problem. In that case, the article will be relevant in
explaining or rather elaborating on the importance of efficient
communication between the users and the developers in the
foster care system.

There has been a heated argument on the reasons that lead to
children to be placed in child care custody, but we are aware of
the fact that parents with substance application disorder are one
factor that can result in this situation. In that case, the child
will be placed in foster care system regardless of their reaction
and their opinion. The article explains or rather analyzes a
collaborative design of a strategy of housing-based clinical
service. The author simply brings out the alternatives to the
foster care system following the risks that some of the children
get exposure in. The article offers relevant information on the
options that can be implemented to ensure that they reduce the
potential the children get exposure in.

Out-of-Home Care: Implications of Child Welfare Workers'
Assessments of Risk and Safety. Social Work Research, 36, 3,
181-195.
In this article, Wells analyzed the predictors of the re-entry to
foster care among kids and young people who got into the foster
care through the application of the longitudinal analysis. In
assessing whether child protective services workers’ risk and
examination safety decisions are predictive of reentry into
foster care, three essential sources of administrative data from
one state were used. Apparently, some factors fostered re-entry
into the foster care, for instance, neglects examination
challenges with parenting skills, motivation to improving
parenting, safety analysis decisions, and stay length among
others. It is clear that the results imply that the children welfare
systems could be more efficiently apply the examination
equipment in matching the families with the required services.
The article offers valuable information on the reasons for
reentry and factors that result to this and it will be substantial
for my research.
