PRACTICE TOOLS
The Children’s Services “Yellow Pages” contain more detailed information about concepts, philosophies and practices referenced in Chapter 4, Child Placement. These “practice tools” are applicable in all aspects of the child welfare system in areas such as staff training, assessment, case planning, and service delivery.
This section is loosely organized by the five vision statements of Children’s Services: Community Based Support for All Families; One Coordinated Assessment Process; One Caseworker or Casework Team; One Single, Stable Foster Care Placement Within the Child’s Own Community; and A Safe and Permanent Home Within One Year. Most of the concepts and practice guidance described in the Yellow Pages, nonetheless, refer to more than one goal.
Children’s Services staff are encouraged to use the Yellow Pages to learn new practice tools or to refresh their general knowledge about these subjects; to find references to additional material; and to spark their creativity in better serving families, children and youth.
