Download or read book Community Partnerships for Protecting Children Portland ME written by Nicholas D. Kjeldgaard and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades it has become apparent that the current methods and techniques used by child protective services agencies across the nation are not serving their communities adequately. Community leaders nationwide agree that keeping children healthy and safe is a difficult task and that it should not be the sole responsibility of child protective services agencies. Instead, it must be a collaborative effort that includes everybody who lives and works in a community. In this policy paper I will focus on a community-based program that seeks to strengthen families and protect children in Portland, Maine. I will examine the growth of community partnerships and the positive effects they have had around the country. I will then shift to the Portland initiative and critique the current policy. I will conclude the paper by offering a list of policy recommendations aimed at making it easier for the Portland initiative to better serve its constituents and reach its goal of changing the way child protective services are conducted statewide.

Download or read book Towards Positive Systems of Child and Family Welfare written by Nancy Freymond and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-05-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for services that respond to the ‘maltreatment’ of children and to the struggles of families is at the core of social service systems in all developed nations. While these child and family welfare systems confront similar problems and incorporate common elements, there are substantial differences in philosophy, organization, and operation across international settings and models. In this new collection of essays, Nancy Freymond and Gary Cameron have brought together some of the finest international minds to provide an original and integrated discussion of child protection, family service, and community caring models of child and family welfare. The volume not only examines child protection and family service approaches within Western nations – including Canada, the United States, England, the Netherlands, France, and Sweden – it is also the first comparative study to give equal attention to Aboriginal community caring models in Canada and New Zealand. The comparisons made by the essays in this volume allow for a consideration of constructive and feasible innovations in child and family welfare and contribute to an enriched debate around each system. This book will be of great benefit to the field for many years to come.
