No hits on parent, "family" appears in the headers and in a very limited fashion in body text.<br /> <br />My response would be to let parents and those interested in MCFD reform to take the courses and play a part in observing the results. I don't see that option in the document.<br /><br />I'm not clear from reading the material what the results are supposed to be. <br /><br />The Vision appears somewhat ambiguous, "parent" and "family" is not in the Vision statement. <br /><br />Will implementation reduce removals? Shorten time in care? What were the questions that were asked that this CAPP is trying to answer?<br /><br />Less suffering for parents and children isn't there. Allowing a parent to do there job even while a child is in care would be a welcome consideration of the statement of evaluating and enhancing parenting strengths.<br /><br />What I read by omission, is that parents are the adversary. They are what children are to be protected from, this is the only reason they are in care.<br /><br />Strengths analysis of the parents and surrounding family, friends and supporting community, if you recall was left blank in the Baynes risk assessment. Also, in mine. Also in other parents I've spoken to.<br /><br />So, I would want to see the course training materials and experience the course, and then evaluate the recipients of the course, as well as the social workers charged with deliverying the content.<br /><br />When someone manages to get a copy of this material, pass it along.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
