Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of a national discussion regarding behavior management in child and youth care settings, and in an effort to address the need to care safely and appropriately for children and youth, the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) formed the National Task Force on Behavior Management. The task force includes representatives of advocacy groups, consumer groups, CWLA's member agencies, accrediting bodies, and others with expertise in residential group care, foster care, child day care, and juvenile justice. This book contains the resulting CWLA guidelines, providing practical guidance to child welfare agencies. The guidelines are designed for use in all areas of the child welfare field, from improving practice at a program level to revising behavior management standards for accreditation. Chapter 1 of the book presents the ethical and legal framework for behavior management practices. Chapter 2 details best practices concerning implementation and maintenance of a comprehensive behavior management system, including system-wide administration and provider leadership. Chapter 3 provides guidelines for a continuum of behavior management interventions, including individualized service planning, selection of behavior intervention models, de-escalation methods, and physical interventions. Chapter 4 concerns guidelines on the use of restraint and seclusion. Chapter 5 discusses guidelines for professional development and support for staff and caregivers. Three appendices list members of the best practice task force, the guidelines reviewers, and the CWLA staff and consultants. A glossary of relevant terms is included. (Contains 29 references and 32 additional resources.) (KB)

Book excerpt: CWLA's Best Practice Guidelines for Children Missing from Care provides agencies with an effective tool to develop administrative policies, procedures, and case practices that will decrease the likelihood of children going missing from out-of-home care; establish a coordinated and effective response to instances in which children do go missing; and ensure that once children are returned to care they, their caregivers, and their birthfamilies receive necessary and appropriate services and supports. These guidelines provide direction to child welfare agencies responsible for the care of children in out-of-home care, both in family foster care and in group and residential settings. They were prepared in conjunction, and go hand in hand, with guidelines for law enforcement agencies on children missing from care developed by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Download or read book Child Welfare for the Twenty first Century written by Gerald P. Mallon and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA), which became law in 1997, elicited a major shift in federal policy and thinking toward child welfare, emphasizing children's safety, permanency, and well-being over preserving biological ties at all costs. The first edition of this volume mapped the field of child welfare after ASFA's passage, detailing the practices, policies, programs, and research affected by the legislation's new attitude toward care. This second edition highlights the continuously changing child welfare climate in the U.S., including content on the Fostering Connections Act of 2008. The authors have updated the text throughout, drawing from real-world case examples and data obtained from the national Child and Family Services Reviews and emerging empirically based practices. They have also added chapters addressing child welfare workforce issues, supervision, and research and evaluation. The volume is divided into four sections—child and adolescent well-being, child and adolescent safety, permanency for children and adolescents, and systemic issues within services, policies, and programs. Recognized scholars, practitioners, and policy makers discuss meaningful engagement with families, particularly Latino families; health care for children and youth, including mental health care; effective practices with LGBT youth and their families; placement stability; foster parent recruitment and retention; and the challenges of working with immigrant children, youth, and families.
