The purpose it was not successful is because obstructions did not take action appropriately. For example, the requirements to qualify for financial support, when delivering a child, were not constructed properly. The guidelines would not be checked when considering a incident to decide whether the candidate was eligible. On the other hand, the video cameras installed in foster cares’ were destroyed by owners of the homes and would argue that they broke out of the know where. Therefore, the new policy went straight to the bottom.
Upon further reflection, Aboriginal children will have an adverse and disproportionate impact by the recent Child Protection reform of the Children, Youth and Families Amendment (Permanent Care and Other Matters) Act 2014 (Cth). In Victoria, Aboriginal children are 12.9 times more likely to be on care and protection orders and 12.3 times more likely to be in out-of-home care in comparison with non-Aboriginal children. The Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention and Legal Service Victoria (FVPLS) state that the rate of Aboriginal child removal is now higher than at any time since white settlement (FVPLS, 2016). In June 2016, it was reported that appropriately 36 percent of all children in out of home care identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait
The number of children who enter foster care is rapidly growing; however, there are not enough foster parents for these children. Children are placed into foster care because of neglect, abuse and many other reasons. Foster parents are single individuals or married couples who become licensed to serve as caretakers for foster children. Foster parents are very important because they help the child grow and by providing love and affection, and even stability while they are away from birth parents. The purpose of this review is to increase the awareness about foster parenting and finding ways to recruit parents to create successful foster placements.
Khari reflected on ways he can bond with his foster family by participating in My Time, participating in family activities, holding weekly meetings, and eating a meal together.
Since beginning my college career at CCU I have begun to dream bigger than I had ever thought possible. God has put a calling on my heart to help teens deal with life issues and show them his plan and purpose for their lives. Being a youth leader for the past several years, has enabled me to do just that. However, that calling has reached a new level because of my recent involvement with a couple students in the foster system and visiting one of them in the local youth shelter. This recent experience has not only touched my heart deeply, but also fueled my passion to a new height. According to the AFCARS Report (2015), there were 415,129 children in foster care as of September 30, 2014. Of those 415,129 children 264,746 entered the foster care system in FY 2014, and 107,918 were waiting for adoption. Of the

By listening to what families, children and young people perceive their needs to be and working to adapt their services in order to cater or counteract some of the problems that arise when the wellbeing of the individual is being affected is what practitioners aim to achieve. Several agencies in UK worked together to improve children and young adults welfare such as Teachers, Social workers, Foster carers, Children safeguarding team, etc…Using Activity 2.9 ( Open University 2014 ) as an illustration, the narrator explained about Connors story, a young boy who has been place into foster caring. As a young child, Connor had probably experienced ambivalent, avoidant and disorganised patterns of attachments before his current placement which might have an impact on his behaviour. The foster family had concern that if Connor had to leave them, this could lead to further problems. Agencies working within Connors welfare such as Children social workers should adapt the fact of Connors relationship with the foster family does not impact on his wellbeing. Practitioners need to work in accordance of children and youth people diversity as well. Diversity can help to begin to overcome inequalities in society, which be might be a positive outcome or a negative outcome. Practitioners must firstly identify the assumptions they make about people so that they can make sure that they treat everyone with respect.
Foster children come into care and within an agency with no knowledge of what’s going to happen to them. The social workers for child welfare drop the foster children off at a strange home or office without a formal introduction. Some many of the children are irate, heart broken or scare beyond measures. This training program will help the foster care agency and employees to make available new skills that will relieve foster children of fear, chaos and uncertainty. .

Our Community Advisor helped us with this process and found a family that she believed would be willing to help us gain some community-based experience. One week later, the matriarch and patriarch of the Meyer family as well as one of their foster children had an appointment at the CAS’s medical clinic and I was therefore able to meet them for the first time. Prior to this appointment, my partner and I meet with the matriarch and patriarch and thereby began to discuss the potential for home visits. Once they agreed to this process, we took them aside, before their foster child’s appointment, and began to develop a family genogram in order to gain a better understanding of the family. Moreover, as I had not been in previous contact with the family, I had to draw on my previous experiences of working with foster parents. These experiences taught me that foster parents are held to a very
I hope you will understand my concerns and also have a look and take notes of my views and suggestions and the effects that are being caused to the indigenous children for being mistreated and abused which directly result in them being taken away from their family, home, social environment and culture.(Braveman & Gottlied 2014). Bring the Aboriginal children back to study at school and reassuring the aboriginal adults to be Australian work force is the main focus of Aboriginal Health programs, according to the Senator Scullins. Closing the gap program had built a astonishing progress but only with regards to the acceptance of institutionalized way of living and indigenous community cooperation (Australian Medical Association
