Families are diverse and require a unique, flexible and responsive approach to their problems which is informed by highly skilled professionals from multi- disciplinary background using best evidence but most importantly by family views and experiences.
Protecting the safety of children, promoting their well-being and providing loving homes is best understood by the parent’s and families of children. We will always hold that view with high regard and respect, no matter whether social work involvement is high authority intervention or preventative work.
Children, families and organisations do not operate in a vacuum. The relational aspect of our work is privileged, and we will always consider the wider contexts in our assessments and offer of help.
In a minority of cases children are unable to be safely cared for by their parents. CSCFS will never recommend severance and will always develop a permanence plan which meaningfully involves birth families.
We believe that the social work relationship can be an instrument of family change and growth, as such trust and stability are vital.
Our Students will develop awareness of the contextual and ethical dilemmas embedded in social care work including engagement and goal setting with non-voluntary clients, where power imbalances between professionals and clients are significant.
