The Scalar Principle states “authority and responsibility should flow in a direct line vertically from the highest level of the organization to the lowest level” (Starling, p. 300). It can also be identified as the “chain of command”. In most work settings, utilizing the scalar principle is highly emphasized, especially in a military setting because it establishes an organized environment and different levels of authority within individuals. For example, requesting leave of absence can be approved by the first line supervisor because they are directly involved with daily operations. It is highly frowned upon skipping a member of the chain of command because many times issues can be dealt with at a lower level. At the same time, in situations…
Who gains from employee development? Is it the consumer, the employer, or the employees? In reality it should be all of the above. Employers should develop their employees, and help them to learn the skills to build the employees knowledge of the business. That is how it will also help to benefit the consumer.

In every aspect of our job as a child carer we need to gain and share information.…
As I have gained experience over the years working and volunteering in the mental health field, I have come to the realization that I have an overwhelming passion for working with individuals in need of social, emotional and physical support. If I were given the opportunity to become a DFPS Statewide Intake Worker, my greatest challenge would be ensuring that the children and adults in the home are receiving the appropriate love and attention that they need from their caregivers. As a family oriented individual, I believe that success begins in the home. My goal as a DFPS worker would be to help ensure that the people in need and their family can be successful, even in the most difficult situations. By successful, I am referring to the family receiving the support and resources they need from the community.…
p. 7). The same standards for well-being should apply to caseworkers as do the parents. “Most children (59.2 percent) enter foster care due to neglect, which is ―often the result of inadequate housing, poor child care, or insufficient food or medical care” (Badeau & Gesiriech, 2003, p. 4). These children suffer from food insecurity issues that should not be perpetuated once in custody but rather should be able to count on having their basic needs fulfilled by the caseworkers they have come to trust in the process. “Food insecurity is defined as uncertain or limited availability of adequate supplies of nutritional safe food” (Oberg, 2011,…
When taking a look at all of the social issues we face in our society, it is child welfare and the foster care system that engrosses me the most. This issue has been near and dear to my heart for a very long time and is the reason I decided to go into social work. Growing up with an Aunt who raised and adopted foster care children allowed me to see a lot of issues that I would not have otherwise seen. One of the first issues is the number of children that are in the foster care system. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reported that 402,378 children were living in foster care in 2013. Outside of this enormous number the issues that these children face extend a lot deeper. These issues include but are not limited to depression,…
We believed that God had been preparing us to do this kind of work. It is my conviction that the main reason a Christian should do foster care is to serve God almighty, to be his hands. When foster care becomes hard and difficulties arise, and they will, knowing that you are working for God helps to keep you focused and motivated.…
When children enter foster care, their living situations are distressing. They live through abuse and abandonment due to families struggling with poverty, addictions, or domestic violence. Along with the harsh life style, children’s behaviors with their families of origin are considered acts of disobedience in new environment, outside their home. For example, in the case of the child, they are to articulate their wants and needs but they only know how to express that in violent conduct. The challenges the children face also reflect on the foster parent, which is why training is provided as well as support and access to resources. Through this, children are able to find permanence in the foster parent.…

Usually, children are put into foster care because of child abuse, drug abuse, or another situation which puts the child’s safety at risk. Foster care may also be an option when a parent just can’t take care of his/her child because of a lack of money, or a condition, physical or mental, that the parent has. The kids can stay in foster care temporarily, and have the option of going back to their biological parents (Foster…
