This assignment focuses on analyzing policies about child maltreatment in the
United States where, as noted in the Week Three Instructor Guidance and the Rubin
(2012) recommended readings for Week Three, it is a growing national issue. This
assignment is another opportunity to further apply 21st century technology skills as
you create an informational brochure meant to inform the public in a variety of
potential environments about child maltreatment in the United States and in a
specific state of your choosing. Your finished brochure will be included in your
website as part of the Week Six Final Project. Beyond reading the Week Three
Instructor Guidance and the recommended chapters from Rubin (2012), review the
State of California (2014) website resources for services related to children’s and
youth health, the CDCP (2014) website about preventing child maltreatment, the
Child Help (2014) website programs page, and the CAPA (2014) webpage about their
programs and services to learn about child maltreatment and policies related
thereto. Create your assignment using the content and written communication
instructions below. Use the Grading Rubric to review your assignment before
submission to ensure you have met the distinguished performance for each of the

2. components described below. For additional assistance, review the Week Three
Instructor Guidance and, if needed, contact the instructor for further clarifications
using the Ask Your Instructor discussion. Additionally, add the flyer as a link or
attachment to the page on your website titled Child Protection Services & Child
Maltreatment.
