The level of complexity has increased requiring high level of professionalism. There have been tremendous improvements in the outcomes of providing foster care for children as well as relevant connections to primary caregivers. The evolution of child welfare continues with support from professionals from various bodies. The intention of this paper is to analyze the changes in childcare welfare in Canada and provide a self-assessment on areas that social workers need to improve on their professional practice. As illustrated in chapter 8, history of child welfare in Canada can be traced through the associated legislations. The job of childcare is challenging, needing a combination of skills and strengths coupled with the right attitude. The first attribute I need as a child welfare worker is a patience. Dealing with children can be exhausting and stressful.
The children have different needs that I need to balance as a child welfare social worker (Holden et al. It requires that I stay calm even when the children engage in annoying activities. It is important for a child welfare worker to get additional training on the ability to make important decisions regarding the well-being of the children. Additionally, the social worker needs management skills to be able to manage the various duties and workload. The management includes managing resources, time, and the children. The management skills are necessary for the planning and coordination of services, children, and parents. In addition to the management skills, the child social worker needs administrative skills. The organizations offer credentials in various fields of practice and offer malpractice insurance. Additionally, there is access to various publications and journals as well as seminars and networking opportunities.
Another area of development is contributing to academia. The social worker can publish papers and participate in professional research. Additionally, the social worker can work as an instructor or a tutor in an institution that offers social work courses. The hiring of social workers varies from one place to another. However, the completion of the stipulated programs is fundamental in social work practice. The social workers in child welfare need to gain sufficient knowledge in child and adult development, trauma, parenting, family life, and community systems. These competencies are important in ensuring that the social worker provides the best services required in the settings of child welfare social work. References Holden, G.
