| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Human Rights in Child Protection Asgeir Falch-Eriksen, 2005-01-01 This open access book critically explores what child protection policy and professional practice would mean if practice was grounded in human rights standards. This book inspires a new direction in child protection research – one that critically assesses child protection policy and professional practice with regard to human rights in general, and the rights of the child in particular. Each chapter author seeks to approach the rights of the child from their own academic field of interest and through a comparative lens, making the research relevant across nation-state practices. The book is split into five parts to focus on the most important aspects of child protection. The first part explains the origins, aim, and scope of the book; the second part explores aspects of professionalism and organization through law and policy; and the third part discusses several key issues in child protection and professional practice in depth. The fourth part discusses selected areas of importance to child protection practices (low-impact in-house measures, public care in residential care and foster care respectively) and the fifth part provides an analytical summary of the book. Overall, it contributes to the present need for a more comprehensive academic debate regarding the rights of the child, and the supranational perspective this brings to child protection policy and practice across and within nation-states. . |

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Social Work Ethics Eileen Gambrill, 2017-05-15 This collection of essays highlights ethical issues in social work which are often overlooked as well as recurring clashes that influence how they play out, for example among different values and related moral judgements. A wide range of ethical issues are addressed such as the types of technologies incorporated into social work; issues raised by the common position of social workers as 'double agents' required to carry out state mandates while also honoring obligations to clients; and issues concerning the distribution of scarce resources. These topics are integrally related to other often neglected concerns such as harming in the name of helping; the ethics of claims making regarding what is true and what is not, and related concerns regarding empowerment and social justice. This collection, which includes essays from an array of professions and disciplines, is designed to bring these neglected topics to the attention of readers and to offer suggestions for addressing them in a manner that is faithful to obligations described in social work codes of ethics. |

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Responding to Children and Adolescents who Have Been Sexually Abused World Health Organization, 2017 Sexual abuse of children and adolescents is a gross violation of their rights and a global public health problem. It adversely affects the health of children and adolescents. Health care providers are in a unique position to provide an empathetic response to children and adolescents who have been sexually abused. Such a response can go a long way in helping survivors recover from the trauma of sexual abuse. WHO has published new clinical guidelines Responding to Children and Adolescents Who Have Been Sexually Abused aimed at helping front-line health workers, primarily from low resource settings, in providing evidence-based, quality, trauma-informed care to survivors. The guidelines emphasize the importance of promoting safety, offering choices and respecting the wishes and autonomy of children and adolescents. They cover recommendations for post-rape care and mental health; and approaches to minimizing distress in the process of taking medical history, conducting examination and documenting findings. |
| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Protecting Children Kathleen Kufeldt, Barbara Fallon, Brad McKenzie, 2021 This book has been prepared as the editors' response to the expanded interest in Canada and elsewhere in the improvement of child intervention. This interest exists both in direct services and within the Universities tasked with preparing graduates for work in such a challenging field. Challenges exist both in direct practice and for those engaged in expanding the knowledge base. Good practice is enhanced when interventions are founded on a solid knowledge base and reflect the identified need in a community context. Accordingly we begin with a section that directs attention to some key conceptual material. We next provide some examples of how theory has been translated into practice. In our third section we have invited scholars from across the globe to tell us about the state of the search for best practice in their own country. The fourth section addresses a priority issue: that is the fact that around the globe colonization has not been a positive force for indigenous populations. A great deal has already been written about this issue and of course about some of the negative outcomes for recipients of child protective services. In search of authenticity we invited Indigenous people to author the majority of these chapters. The final chapter offers our conclusions followed by recommendations to promote more positive outcomes for children and families involved in the child welfare system. As part of our introductory comments we wish to share with readers the challenges of research with children and young people. These include value issues, the risks of reductionism, some limits to predictability and some pragmatic issues.-- |

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Ethical Issues in Social Work Richard Hugman, David Smith, 2002-09-09 It has always been recognised that the practice of social work raises ethical questions and dilemmas.

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Working Ethically in Child Protection Bob Lonne, Maria Harries, Brid Featherstone, Mel Gray, 2015-08-20 In their day-to-day practice, social work and human services practitioners frequently find themselves in confusing ethical quandaries, trying to balance the numerous competing interests of protecting children from harm and promoting family and community capacity. This book explores the ethical issues surrounding child protection interventions and offers a process-oriented approach to ethical practice and decision making in child protection and family welfare practice. Its aim is to prepare students and early-career professionals for roles in the complex and challenging work of child protection and family support. Beginning with a critical analysis and appreciation of the diverse organisational and cultural contexts of contemporary child protection and ethical decision-making frameworks, the authors outline a practical ‘real-world’ model for reshaping frontline ethical practice. Moving away from a focus on the child apart from the family, the authors recognise that child safeguarding affects the lives, not just of children, but also of parents, grandparents and communities. Working Ethically in Child Protection eschews dominant rational-technical models for relational ones that are value centred and focus on family well-being as a whole. Rather than a single focus on assessing risk and diagnosing deficit, this book recognises that our child protection systems bear down disproportionately on those from disadvantaged and marginalised communities and argues that what is needed is real support and practical assistance for poor and vulnerable parents and children. It uses real-world case examples to illustrate the relevant ethical and practice principles, and ways in which students and practitioners can practise ethically when dealing with complex, multi-faceted issues. |

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Toolkit on Mapping Legal Health and Social Services Responses to Child Maltreatment World Health Organization, 2015-04-02 Published by WHO, Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, and the University of New Hampshire, this toolkit provides academics and decision-makers with strategies for conducting national or regional studies of the incidence of and agency response to child maltreatment. These studies are developed based on the collection of administrative data or through surveys of professionals. Such research is important to policy-makers who need information about which agencies have knowledge of the problem of child maltreatment, and their response when they encounter it. Based on this information, they can plan how to improve practices, enhance systems and strengthen professional capacity.--Publisher description. |

| code of ethics for child welfare professionals: Culturally Diverse Parent-Child and Family Relationships Nancy Boyd Webb, 2001-07-10 In an increasingly diverse social environment, misunderstandings often arise between practitioners in the helping professions and clients from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. This book investigates the culturally specific beliefs and child-rearing practices of five major racial/ethnic groups: African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and European Americans. Analyses of case vignettes illustrate the book's dual focus on the practitioners' own views in addition to those of their culturally diverse clients. Guidelines offer suggestions for effective engagement and work with culturally diverse families. |
