This document discusses the need to increase transparency around professional practice and governance through direct observation and analysis. It argues that while social policy is created in boardrooms, it is implemented and shaped through institutional practice settings, which act as a "black box" in current results-based management systems. The document calls for revealing the mechanics of how social policy works in practice through approaches like direct observation, analysis of professional judgement, auditing how policy is implemented, and information exchange, in order to improve quality, accountability and understanding of how results are achieved.

My preliminary ideas for the Unit VIII Final Project include asses.docxgilpinleeanna
My preliminary ideas for the Unit VIII Final Project include assessing the environmental situation to determine the most appropriate course of action based on reactions. This thought process surprisingly conquers to the core competencies of the use of self-framework. Seeing involves employing the senses in assessing situations to increase the scope of awareness and understanding of the apparent and hidden conditions. Knowing will involve the use of my professional skill and knowledge gathered from experience. It will help me interpret the collected data and device and appropriate strategy to tackle the problem. The informed awareness of my cognitive processes will especially help me discern the most applicable strategies that will promote positive thinking and cooperation. The article's demonstration of the different stages of managing self has reinforced my ideas that change is a process that gradually develops to inspire the change of behaviors and choices.
the problem of police brutality. I would first shed light on circumstances surrounding police brutality; especially those that have involve African-Americans, jurisdiction, and adopted measure. I look to draw approximately three research conclusions, which might relate to my department, and how I can be effective in advising change of policy or procedure within my organization. Police brutality is an ethical issue that can affect any agency and the criminal justice system as a whole. The differences in cultural diversity, beliefs, religion, values, race, and sexual orientation remain to be a major challenge in combating police brutality. Lastly, religious affiliation and ethnicity also plays a huge role in many of the ethical decisions made among police officers.
According to (Maguire & Radosh, 1996), ethics are the moral principles of duty and virtues that govern the individual conduct. With that thought process, I hope to illustrate how changing my own preconceived notions of other people’s behaviors or actions can draw others to examine their own mindset, behavior, how they respond to calls of service and problem solving. I think this can be obtained by enhancing respect for those having issue’s with abuse of power, creating accountability for unethical conduct or deceit, expect integrity, and develop excellence throughout the department.
These actions by Nayar inform my thoughts as I develop plans for my Unit VIII final project. This case study of HC technologies informs me that for a company to be successful, too much efforts should not be put on the top level management and pleasing of clients. The most important thing is to prioritize employees first before anything else. Employees are the ones who work directly with the clients and are the ones who receives orders from the top managers and executes them (Su, 2014). This means that they are the central part of every organization, and should always be prioritized. Valuing employees means that the entire organization is valued, a ...

Measuring Effectiveness
in Direct Social Work Practice
Bradford W. Sheafor*
Abstract. In many parts of the world social workers are increasingly expected to
provide documentation of the effectiveness of their services. One useful approach to
such documentation is to measure the amount of change clients experience relative to
the issues in their lives being addressed with the social worker. This is one expression
of the popular demand for evidence-based practice: evidence-based evaluation. While
it is not possible to prove that a social worker�s intervention caused the change,
empirical documentation of change can be shown to be associated with the intervention
and the work of the social worker. This trend is somewhat controversial in social work
and, indeed, there are advantages and disadvantages to efforts to quantify client
change. In this article a process is described for conducting an evidence-based evalu-
ation of client change when working in a direct service capacity, i.e., face-to-face
intervention with individuals, families, and groups. In addition to the usual process
followed in assessing and intervening to help change the client situation, additional
steps in the process are to: 1) generate researchable questions that will inform the
social worker�s actions with this client (formative research) or provide summary infor-
mation about the practice outcomes (summative research) to inform future practice
activities; 2) quantitatively measure change in the important variables related to the
issue(s) being addressed; 3) organize the resulting data in a format that helps to
interpret the client outcomes.
Keywords: direct practice evaluation, evidence-based practice, measurement, single-
-subject designs, empirical practice evaluation
Introduction
As social work has evolved, at least in industrialized nations, simply asserting that we are
doing good when serving our clients is increasingly viewed with suspicion. When called upon
to prove that our interventions make a difference for clients, social workers are often
hard-pressed to uphold their claims of success-or defend against others� claims of our failures.
How can we accurately determine if we are truly helping our clients? One approach is
to ask the opinions of the clients who clearly have an important perspective on our work.
However, there are serious limitations to client assessments of the social worker�s perfor-
mance. Clients may not have an accurate basis of comparison to other service providers,

may base their judgments or disliking the social worker as opposed to assessing his or her

Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Ethics Relations: A Survey in Ki...inventionjournals
Compared with the private sector, public institutions have more cumbersome structure. Structural changes are very important at the state institutions that have intense bureaucracy and cannot be effectively managed. In our country, at the beginning of 2000s public reforms were initiated. This study aims to resolve many problems in public institutions. In particular, issues such as strategic management and performance management began to be considered carefully. As a result of this study, our country has come up with a new understanding of public administration. Concepts such as justice, equality and objectivity have also been effective in putting public business ethics and social responsibility concepts on the agenda. In this study, we have attempted to reveal the effects of the judicial reform strategy in our country. For this purpose, a review has been conducted over the Court of Justice Kırıkkale organization unit. In the study, business ethics and social responsibility perceptions of the staff working in various departments were analyzed. Goal is to reveal the importance of these two concepts within service. In interviews and survey performed with 111 staff, relations with variables such as gender, length of service and duty have been analyzed. At the results of the research part of the study; it was revealed that business ethics and social responsibility have a significant impact over the formation of the organizational image

The Characteristics of the evidence-based practice (EBP)
The evidence-based program is defined as the programs that are effective and this is based on the rigorous assessment. One of the key features of EBP is that they have been assessed thoroughly in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The evaluation of the EBP has been subjected to critical peer review and this implies that a conclusion has been reached by the evaluation experts. The EBP requires the ability to differentiate between the unverified opinions concerning the psychosocial interventions and the facts about their effectiveness. It is involving the process of inquiry that is provided to the practitioners and described for the physicians. This is important in integrating the best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values as well as the situations that are linked to the management of the patient, management of the practice, and health policy decision-making processes (Small & O'Connor, 2007).
The assessment of the factors that are supporting or impeding the adoption of the evidence-based practice
Several factors are associated with the failure to the successful adoption of EBP. The implementation of EBP for example in healthcare facilities requires the dedication of time. Therefore, lack of adequate time for the training and implementation of the EBP makes it hard to adopt it within the facility. The adoption of evidence-based practice also requires adequate resources. This, therefore, implies that there must be adequate resources to facilitate the effective implementation and the adoption of the EBP. This, therefore, implies that smaller organizations with unstable capital income might not adopt the EBP. Another barrier is the inability to understand the statistical terms or the jargons used in the EBP. This leads to barriers in understanding thus making it hard to implement the EBP (Duncombe, 2018). Therefore, the factors that might support the implementation of the EBP are the availability of resources and adequate time.

A former Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and one of the designers and founders of LIDC about a decade ago, Andy has in recent years developed an international reputation and programme linking our development agenda for global health with the much bigger challenge of sustainability and the threat posed to that by climate change and environmental degradation.
His work has revealed the threats posed to health and well being by environmental change, but has emphasized and identified the positive opportunities, and the co-benefits they can generate.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Social and health policy is made in boardrooms
but shaped in practice settings
Institutional and professional practice is the
‘black-box’ of Results-Based Management
systems
The focus on results and impact has allowed us
to take our eye off the ball of quality
Quality in practice is an accomplishment, not
an objective
3. To reveal quality in professional practice
To reveal the mechanics of social policy
To create an evidence-based site for public debate
about services
To create a base for public accountability and
debate about citizen agency and good governance
To make transparent where results come from
(and don’t), what they mean and how to replicate
them – i.e. to understand context
To assess impact
4. Direct observation of practitioner/citizen
interactions
Analysis of professional and clinical judgement
(incl. Indigenous judgement)
Policy-into-practice audit
Triangulation (practitioner/user/observer)
Information exchange
