Module 3:
Ensuring the Safety of Children in Substitute Care

This module is designed to be a six hour training that focuses on keeping children safe while in care. The module provides information on how this outcome can be integrated into daily casework and performance tools that help casework professionals better manage toward this outcome. This module was developed specifically for the Illinois child welfare system; however, the material can be adapted and used for child welfare systems outside of Illinois. The module has not been updated since March, 2005 so the data used in the section 'Understanding Your Performance Data' is out dated. Likewise, the 'agency performance data' that is mentioned in this training module is no longer available. Agencies would need to replace this entire section with their own current data. This training module is considered beginner to intermediate level. It is designed for staff at the field level.

ENSURING THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN IN SUBSTITUTE CARE


Handout #3: Determining Risk in Foster Care Case Vignettes-- .doc or .pdf

This handout contains five case scenarios that are designed for a small group exercise during the training. Participants are instructed to read the case vignettes and identify risk factors that exist. Participants should write out the steps they would take to get more information so that they could make a better determination about the severity of risk. Participants can make up information to accompany the vignettes. However, participants should be able to discuss their reasoning in a sound and logical fashion.
