I. Introduction: Identify specific needs of the family around the issue and the family’s demographics. Where does the family live and why will this be important? What is child’s age and why will this be important? Two distinct child welfare case study options will be provided for your support and guidance during Module Four. Refer to your readings and tasks in Module Four for assistance. II. Resources: In Module Two, you applied federal legislation to a case study. There are readings and resources in Module Two that will assist you with this part of the project. Additionally, use the readings and tasks from Module Four to learn more about resources. A. Discuss the resources the chosen state and federal Departments of Health and Human Services provide around the specific child welfare issue. Are there restrictions to who can use these resources? How would these resources apply to this family? What benefits would these resources provide the family? Where are there gaps in service? B. Discuss the resources the family’s specific community can provide around the specific child welfare issue? Are there restrictions to who can obtain these services? How would these resources apply to this family? What benefits would these resources provide the family? Where are there gaps in service? III. Legality: In addition to the resources listed in Critical Element II above, use the readings and tasks in Module Four to solidify your understanding of legislation, as well as child welfare guidelines. a. Discuss state and federal laws that would apply to the family’s specific case. Are there evidences of illegal behavior? How would the laws either protect or persecute in this case? b. Discuss child welfare guidelines that relate to this specific case. Why would the family need to know about these principles? How would principles relate to this specific case? IV. Recommendations: Modules Five, Six, and Seven have readings and tasks that will assist your progress as you learn more about resources that you can recommend for families with legal and child welfare issues. a. Recommend resources that can help families negotiate legal and child welfare guidelines around this issue. For instance, where would they be able to find these guidelines, and if they need an advocate, how can they obtain one? b. Based on the available resources at the federal, state, and community levels, recommend some of the best resources you would recommend to families. Why do you consider these as best and go-to resources? V. Communication: Ensure your presentation is appropriately tailored to your target audience, clearly communicating the content, and using dynamic elements to hold the audience’s interest.
