Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, under the Basic Center Program (BCP). FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shelter, Inc. and The Harbour Partner Under Federal Grant to Expand Emergency Shelter Services Arlington Heights, IL, January 13, 2025 Shelter, Inc.
Ofsted has praised social workers at a West Midlands council for their efforts to keep families together, while warning that high caseloads and casemanagement system issues risk undermining their good work. “Due to this lack of oversight, there is potential for children’s plans to drift.”
As the parent organization, KVC Health Systems does not provide direct services to children and families; rather it provides administrative support to its local subsidiaries or business units. For our administrative support teams like HR or Accounting, contact KVC Health Systems at www.kvc.org or (913) 322-5900. Learn more here.
KVC casemanagers Victoria Clark, Dalton Shump, and Micah McEwan all work for the Olathe, Kansas office, where they coordinate and support the day-to-day needs of children and teens in foster care and their families. At any given time, these hard-working casemanagers are working with up to 20 children or families.
Both require casemanagement, but instead of the cost of room and board for foster youth, providing in-home services usually involve referring parents to mental health and drug treatment services often funded by Medicaid or paying for parenting support programs that cost less than foster care.
Social workers could more than double the time they spend with children and families through more efficient casemanagement systems and fewer meetings. By contrast, they spent half of their time on case recording, administration or other IT tasks, and significant time in meetings.
Social workers said their high workloads reduced their ability to do direct work, offer meaningful support to families, think about cases creatively or use their professional judgment, as they ended up following processes instead.
According to Cafcass, the average length of time it worked with families in these cases from July to September 2023 was 44 weeks , well above the 26-week target for the duration of proceedings. This is also the judiciary’s ambition through its relaunch of the public law outline (PLO) last year.
This make take months to even years requiring collaboration with the State Administration Department of Human Affairs. They were requesting fair and equitable wages to their counter- parts RN CaseManagers who were being paid six levels higher. They did their research and brought their own united voice to Human Resources.
We can be mental health professionals, casemanagers, or administrators, but we are also more than the sum of these. Often, I have stayed awake worrying for my clients as if they were my own family members. But outside of the difficulties of the job, it’s amazing to step back and think about how expansive our field is.
Upgrading their casemanagement systems in line with revised financial assessment procedures and to track people’s progress towards the cap. This is in addition to all the preparatory work that would need to be carried out by civil servants, councils, IT firms who supply casemanagement systems and care providers.
As well as the need to expand the workforce to implement the charging reforms in 2025, they also require IT investment to change casemanagement systems in line with new financial assessment procedures and to enable care accounts that track people’s progress towards the cap.
Examples of macro social work include: policy analysis and advocacy, community organising, program evaluation, developing and managing community-based programs, working with government agencies, and conducting research. What are some theories used in social work?
AI-powered tools have the potential to improve casemanagement, provide data-driven insights, and expand access to services. This commission would provide a forum for social workers to influence how AI is applied in our field and ensure that it enhances, rather than replaces, human connection.
