Case Records in Public Child Welfare: Uses and a Flexible Format.
- Authors
McDevitt, Suzanne
- Abstract
The article presents information on the importance of flexible format for case recording in public child welfare services with reference to several case records. Changes in legislation and regulation have increased requirements and altered methods for case recording while making it a constant preoccupation of child welfare caseworkers. These case records have many functions such as tracking services given to families and their progress, providing documentation for later abuse reports and giving information to a court of law.
