Our child protection services in NZ have the knowledge they struggle with the implementation
I identify the problems I have found supporting parents who have had their children removed by child protection services in NZ (CYFS)
These are the solutions:
Build trusting relationships - change social worker when required
Create full, accurate, objective records
Complete thorough ecological assessments
Identify the strengths of parents and use them to address the needs
Support parents in the implementation of interventions
Walk with them
Accept that we all learn from making mistakes
Learn from those mistakes
Monitor interventions
Give time for implementation
Social Workers Registration Board need to raise the profession by addressing the system and working with individuals to make them accountable
