CHILD PROTECTION AGENCIES INFOGRAPHIC 2
Child Protection Agency
(
Summary of how
the agency’s philosophies support or align with
t
he philosophical tenets promoted by Adoption and Safe Families Act.
One of the principles and philosophy is dedication. This is an important philosophy for the agency especially for the reason that it promotes the hope and opportunity for the people in need. Performance excellence is also supportive philosophy since it exemplifies the innovativeness and solutions that are based on available evidence, transcend borders and built knowhow. On the other hand, professionalism supports the philosophical tenets promoted by ASAF especially for the reason that it affects the quality of service provided by the child protection agency, the attitude they bring, the associations they create and the commitment towards achieving the goals of the agency.
Integrity enhances the ethical mannerisms of each of the employees within the firm as they
extend their services. Stewardship of the resources is an important philosophy especially for the reason that it increases the transparency and accountability of the employees within the Administration for Children and Families
especially while they handle the organizational resources. Respect is also an important in that it enhances team work amongst their colleagues and the partners

Prioritizing Child Protection
Karla,
I am enriched. Although, as child protection becomes a primary global agenda, various agencies have taken the lead role of sensitizing the public on the essence of looking after children's welfare and influencing the relevant government authorities to do the same. The Children's B.
Charles Bruner, PhD presents the child health practitioner's role in health equity.
Description:
There is increasing recognition of the critical importance of the earliest years in life in setting a child’s health trajectory through strengthening families and thereby reducing disparities in inequities by race, place, and poverty. This workshop will explore the major role the primary child health practitioner can play in these critical early learning years to strengthen and support families.

PCG Human Services White Paper - Cross-System Approaches That Promote Child W...Public Consulting Group
Child welfare agencies can successfully partner with Medicaid and managed care organizations to address the complex health and behavioral needs of children who experience maltreatment. If prevention and intervention efforts are applied early and effectively, these high-risk children and youth may avoid costly health conditions and experience improved health and psychological outcomes.
Child abuse and neglect is an important concern that negatively affects the physical and psychological well-being of a population that is already vulnerable. Increased preventive services to children in high-risk households can help states minimize the cost of health/medical services to deep-end youth, reduce the number of children with chronic medical conditions and can improve general well-being outcomes. Providing targeted prevention programs and interventions to these children of at-risk families have been shown to reduce the cost of providing intensive services to children with poor health outcomes later on.
Children who are investigated for maltreatment or enter the child welfare system have greater health needs. Children investigated by the welfare system have been found to have 1.5 times more chronic health conditions than the general population. After controlling for other risk factors, children with maltreatment reports have a 74-100% higher risk of hospital treatment. Over 28% of children involved with maltreatment investigations are diagnosed with chronic health conditions during the three years following the investigation.

Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation Analy
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
The role of nurses throughout healthcare program and policy evaluation is vital to our role as change agents within our communities. As nurses we participate in the evaluation process every time we go to work, assess our patients, and then partake in delivery of care. If we want to our voices to be heard we must be willing to take our evaluation skills to the next level. We must ask ourselves tough questions about whether the healthcare programs we are providing are meeting the needs of patients, their families, and communities. We must evaluate the healthcare program goals and outcomes to help determine whether it remains fiscally responsible and continues to meet a need in the population it aims to serve. Ultimately, we cannot blindly accept that the presence of a program validates its success. We must be willing and able to take personal action to ensure patients receive the highest quality of healthcare each and every day. The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of the Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program with respect to it’s background, goals, outcomes, success, costs and related nursing advocacy opportunities.
Healthcare Program/Policy Evaluation
Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF)
Description
The Promoting Safe and Stable Families (PSSF) program, which is more formally known as Title IV-B subpart 2 of the Social Security Act, aims to avoid unnecessary separations between caregivers and their children, protect permanency for children by taking the necessary steps to reunite them with their parents, when possible, or another permanent living situation, and to improve the quality of care and programming services being offered to children and their families to achieve maximum chance for stable families (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Children’s Bureau, 2012).
The PSSF program has recently had two additional programs added, the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP) and abstinence education. The goal of the PREP program is to provide state funding aimed at teen pregnancy prevention, addressing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the adolescent population, as well as teaching teens skills to prepare them for adulthood (ie financial responsibility and organization skills). The abstinence education portion provides grants to individual states to promote education to adolescents regarding delaying sexual activity in an effort to further reduce teen pregnancy rates, but also to promote development of healthy relationships and establishment of healthy boundaries in at-risk populations such as homeless teens or those in foster care (United States Department of Health & Human Services, 2018).
How was the success of the program or policy measured?
Success of the PSSF program has been measured by the fact that funding for this program became a ma ...

Proportion of children experiencing abuse
Children who are likely to be subjected to child protection

Outcomes of children subjected to protective intervention
and out of home care
Legal process in defence of “Rights”....but whose?
7. Contested realities around child
and family welfare
Legal - Social
Rights vs. Needs
Social - Medical
Capacities vs. Harms
Moral-Structural
Responsibilities vs. Resources
Examples
The investment in early childhood development (moral –
structural)
The concern with youth mental health (Legal-Social-Medical-
Moral-Structural)
8. The authority of the welfare system
as a Carer or Custodian
Moral or Judicial Guardians
The State reserves the moral right to say who can best
look after children
The law is explicit about the best interests of the child
being the primary factor in attributing responsibility for
care
But the State is itself a deeply flawed provider of care,
AND
The law is wary to interdict parental interest.
9. ‘That child maltreatment occurs across the spectrum of levels of family
income and education, or that some forms of child maltreatment are
more explicitly linked to socio-economic stress, is acknowledged.
However, from the 1990s, commentators have affirmed the need for a
more comprehensive strategy that is child-centred, family-focused, and
neighbourhood based…which involves a range of systems – physical and
mental health, education, justice, housing, and income support – to
achieve a broader safety net for children’
(Fernandez 2005, p. 193).
11. Aim to deliver positive and sustainable outcomes for
children and families in disadvantaged communities
Primary focus is children 0-12 years and their families.
Organisations are funded to meet community needs,
building on community strengths, organisations’
networks and resources
Services aim to increase child safety and wellbeing,
especially where circumstances impact adversely on
parenting capacity.
