Nearly one in three Swazi girls experiences sexual violence before the age of 18 and one in four suffer physical violence, according to a 2007 UNICEF national study on violence against children in Swaziland.
To help these young victims, the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland has taken strong steps to support them by providing not only counseling and health services, but also special child-friendly courts (CFCs) to make it easier for them to testify against their attackers. Through the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the HFG project assisted with developing the country’s third CFC in Siteki, Lubombo, and training social workers to assist young victims.
Ms. Zee Catherine Masuku, MSW, HFG’s Regional Social Welfare Advisor in Swaziland, presented key findings and major lessons learned from this effort at The Network for Social Work Management’s 26th Annual Management Conference in Washington, DC, on June 4, 2015.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Voices from the front line - Supporting our social workers in the delivery of...Pat McLaren
A contribution to important current debates about how best to enable and encourage innovation and improvement in social work.
The victoria Climbie Foundation collaborated with HCL Social Care, a leading provider of permanent and temporary social workers to local government, to engage with social workers of all levels and experience. Four themes repeatedly emerged: lack of management support, not listening to front line social workers, inconsistent training and development of the workforce and poor recruitment and retention practices - particularly in the locum sector.
Joint Strategic Commissioning is at the heart of the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Bill. JIT has recently issued guidance on what Partnerships need to do in order to develop Strategic Plans that incorporate a Financial Plan, relating to all integrated resources, by April 2015. This session provides an opportunity to further explore the scale and scope of what partnerships are required to do to deliver on the opportunities and ambitions of integrated health and social care.

Juvenile Delinquency Policy
Student's Name
Institutional Affiliation
Often policies aimed at improving the situation of certain conditions in the society are formulated, passed and made ready for implementation. However, challenges face the implementation phase of the policies. There are a number of challenges that may hinder the implementation of a certain policy. These range from physical, social, economic, environmental and economic factors. this paper will seek to exploit the cost factors that affect the implementation of the juvenile delinquency policy. These fall under the economic factors of the above-named factors. These include a measure of the benefits that are to be realized upon switching to the new policy.
Training Costs.
Implementation of any policy involves capacity building of individuals who are going to disseminate the information to different part of the nation. This includes carrying out training in different places so as to ensure that the public is sensitized on the importance of this particular policy of juvenile delinquency for our case. This may include training in the institutions and also community-based training all of which will require funds for facilitation.
Incorporations Cost
The implementation of this policy will involve the provision of education to children in order to mold them to the desirable state of behavior. There will be a need of taking even the children who do not have access to education to institutions by ensuring that education is free of charge to all. To ensure these, the government of the day is obliged to sponsor these programs hence will need to source funds for the program.
Program Sustenance Cost
Once a program to support this policy is started, it important to ensure that the program is kept going on. There should be a consideration of the ways to sustain the program through the provision of necessities like learning materials among other education materials.
Administrative Costs.
These are the costs that are incurred to run the program in different places. This includes salaries for the officer responsible for overseeing the policy implementation in the different locations. This is also a great factor to put into consideration.
Ensuring The Participation of Different Groups in This Policy.
The involvement of the groups within the society is very important as it boosts this policy implementation. There are a number of ways that can be used to ensure the participation of these individual groups within society. The mass media being one of the groups can be involved through carrying out the campaigns via the media houses. The media houses can air any information that is supposed to pass across to the society. The media houses can also horst in.

Capacity
building
Using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, we are
evaluating a major US-funded project in Uganda, which has the aim of
preventing the avoidable separation of 43,000 children from their families
and reuniting 2,000 children living in institutional care back into a family
environment.
In Ghana, where the government has shown a strong commitment to
strengthening the national child protection system, we are evaluating the
relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and long-term sustainability of a set of
child protection interventions that have been piloted in 20 districts across
the country.
A rolling challenge for governments and partners seeking to develop or
strengthen social care services is ensuring that appropriate human resources
are deployed for the successful achievement of intended policy goals.
We carried out a capacity and institutional assessment of Zimbabwe’s
Department of Social Services (DSS), focusing on its effectiveness in
responding to the needs of Zimbabwe’s orphans and vulnerable children and
delivering on its statutory mandate of child care and protection. Learning from
this assignment subsequently informed the development of a methodological
framework for use in capacity gap analysis across East and Southern Africa.
We provided evidence-informed policy advice to the Ministry of Civil Affairs in
China exploring how social work can help improve social assistance programmes
by supporting a shift towards a social development approach, facilitate the
graduation of social assistance recipients into sustainable livelihoods and ensure
that the system is better able to meet growing and changing social needs. This
work included supporting the design of studies and surveys in seven provinces,
providing policy recommendations based on expert analysis.
We help governments to deliver social care services that are tailored towards
the needs of the individual and which support them in the family and community.
This usually involves significant changes to existing practices and the way that
services are conceived, procured, delivered and monitored.
We assisted the Kyrgyz Government in delivering on its social and child
protection policy commitments. This included carrying out assessments of a
number of residential care institutions, including those caring for children with
profound disabilities, and developing detailed transformation and alternative/
substitute service development plans.
In Tajikistan we developed and piloted a methodological framework to support
the commissioning or transformation of services, serving also as a tool for
setting, improving and monitoring service delivery standards.
In Croatia, we provided technical expertise to the Ministry of Social Policy and
Youth and to regional authorities across the country to develop transformation
plans for residential social care institutions for children and adults, and evidence-
driven plans for community-based social services development.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) engaged OPM to advise the Government
of Mongolia on the design of a wide-ranging national disability reform,
which aims to ensure inclusiveness and strengthen appropriate integrated
services for persons with disabilities (PWD). OPM’s multidisciplinary team
designed and facilitated a consultation and engagement process with national
stakeholders, including PWD and national Disabled Peoples’ Organisations.
We produced detailed plans that will trigger and guide a significant strategic
investment by the ADB and the government over several years. The
framework for the reform includes: strengthening disability diagnosis and
screening to facilitate the shift towards a social model of disability, improving
service delivery for PWD including children, improving access to the physical
environment, improving work and employment prospects for PWD through a
dual offer and demand approach, and raising awareness to change negative
attitudes towards PWD.
For over 25 years, significant attention has been given to introducing
innovative social services in countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) which, in combination with
other forms of social protection, have the potential to prevent and appropriately
address unnecessary child and family separation.
In order to better understand the extent to which national social protection
policies have proven to be effective, we carried out a multi-country study which
assessed strengths and challenges, showcased promising practices and made
recommendations for regional application, drawing heavily on the experiences
of those requiring or receiving social assistance.
We also completed a review of Family Support Services in East Kazakhstan.
In addition to documenting the development process to lessons learned and
promising practices, the team provided expert advice and support to ongoing
policy and practice reforms at national and subnational levels.
We carried out a situational analysis of the strengths, gaps, opportunities and
challenges of the social care sector in Uganda, proposing recommendations
and policy options for further strategic development. This included developing
an overarching conceptual framework and articulating a set of directions to
underpin a national strategy for social care within the wider social protection
framework, with an emphasis on integrated child care reform. The need for
family-based alternatives for children who require care and support away
from their families was clearly identified as a priority by stakeholders involved
in the consultation process.
Our findings and recommendations were published by the Ugandan Ministry
of Gender Labour and Social Development and comprehensively reflected
in the 2014 Uganda Social Protection Sector Review, the purpose of which
was to inform ongoing operational planning for delivery of the Uganda Social
Protection Policy.
