The Children's Aid Society The research of a history of service, change, innovation and success

The Children’s Aid Society The research of a history of service, change, innovation and success through an almost foolproof management theory.

The Children’s Aid Society has been in the business of saving children since its inception. Just as in the beginning, this agency continues to be in the forefront of innovation for servicing children that are considered to be the most in need. As time progresses and the world changes, so does the approach of helping children. The Children’s Aid Society has been an important hallmark in the business of helping the less fortunate. The agency’s ability to remain relevant, successful and vital since the 19th century is a testament to its constant overhaul, risk taking and revolutionary ideas. By constantly reaching for the moon and beyond The Children’s Aid Society has been very successful. However, when the ultimate goal is pushed further and farther, when promises are made and they become too distant to see; those that believed in landing on the moon but fall short, lose their faith in the process.
When the people directly responsible for carrying out the mission of the agency feel forgotten and undervalued, it can cause disruption of progress at its full potential. The research of the Children’s Aid Society as an agency, Its Community Schools Initiative, and specifically the Extended Day Program overhaul and its business management theory will show that although there is much success attributed to this agency; there is still plenty of room for improvement. Instead of reaching for what appears to be the impossible, those in the frontlines can actually help the agency land at its intended target and become believers in the full

    Devereux Strategic Plan

    • 2269 Words
    • 10 Pages

    In large meetings held with Regional Administrators and lead Management, Devereux allows for a loss with many programs knowing that it will not make a profit and in fact takes a loss in profit, yet the program is essential and needed for the community. By recognizing this, Devereux then pulls from other programs that are more financially solvent and makes it a priority to stay aware of the growths in that program, challenging it at all times to reach higher productivity goals. Devereux recognizes that the need to focus on the “how’s” is critical and on going which is why they hold so many management level meetings pulling management from all over the state to come together and share ideas and process through what is and is not working in each region. Having this allows for documentation and tracking of success and also allows for preparation in each region when a new obstacle arises. Devereux not only looks at how to better help the children and families in need, but how to provide more to them, how to have more resources, how to obtain higher level of training, how to stay ahead of competitive agencies who are also providing services. They look to see how to distinguish a problem when it occurs in a quick time frame as not to allow for residual…

    Maggie Doyne’s efforts have been highlighted in the news as of late due to her upstanding willingness to make change. She was 18 on a backpacking trip before college when she stumbled deep into the Nepalese hills. She witnessed first hand the effects of the insane poverty, and the ruins of a civil war, and knew she had to help. Doyne then went on to fund this small community’s push to survival. She used her college savings to buy a piece of land and built a school for these kids who had no further access to education. In a span of less than 10 years Doyne educated an entire community as well as adopted over 15 children who she raised as her own. At age 18 Maggie Doyne’s plan was to return home from a backpacking trip across Asia but found…

    Children 1st was established from a case in New York in the 19th century where an eight year old girl was being abused by her adoptive parents, but because there was no laws that allowed any intervention this meant agencies couldn’t get involved. It was because of this case that Branches were set up in the UK, and in 1889 the Glasgow and Edinburgh branches joined together. (Children1st, n.d) Children 1st , was first known as ‘The Scottish National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (SNSPCC)’ from 1889 until 1895, it grew from the Glasgow society for the prevention of cruelty to children, (GSPCC) who joined with two Edinburgh based societies to form SNSPCC. In 1895 it changed to ‘The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Scottish Branch’, following the passing of the Children Act in 1894. It then reverted back to ‘SNSPCC’, in 1907, as Scotland wanted to resume its independence. As the society kept developing into a nationwide organisation it was granted a Royal Charter, in 1922, and became ‘The Royal Scottish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (RSSPCC)’ and again changed in 1995 where it became ‘Children 1st’. The charity was set up initially to rescue children living rough on the streets but as it progressed they became better known for their investigating into neglect and abuse that was reported by the public.
