Other considerations that I may take into consideration in designing an effective intervention for this family is finding out what triggers her tantrums and Clara’s behavior before and after her tantrums to those individuals who are around her when they take place. In axis I, I would enter that Clara would receive a mood disorder. Axis II, dependant personality disorder because a doctor may feel that Clara has shown symptoms of dependant behavior. The remaining axes would be figured out as they go along based off of what they have received from axis I and II. I do feel that diagnosing Clara would be helpful to her and her family.
Some of the children live with their parents or relatives while the others live with foster parents. Some live in group homes. When Josie was asked about question two and three she began to go into detail which is as follows. Josie would look after the foster kids under her care, she would visit their schools and confer with the teachers about their performances and behaviors.

Roles of the different agencies involved in safeguarding the welfare of children and young people. Social Worker The role of the social worker is to investigate when concerns have been raised about a child. The social worker will do an assessment of the child to find out his/her need’s and if they are being met by the parents/guardians. They will liaise with other agencies to discuss their concerns or gather information about the child’s circumstances. If the child is in danger they will take action to remove the child from the danger.
The parents should provide information regarding when Clara was adopted; if the adoption was recent Clara may still be in an adjustment phase to her new living environment. The circumstances regarding her life prior to the Lawson family adopting Clara could have a bearing on Clara’s current behavior; Clara could have been abused or neglected. The length of time Clara has been attending the preschool could be important information if Clara has only just begun attending she may need adjustment time. The type of changes in Clara’s sleeping and eating habits are also information which would be helpful in determining the possible cause of her issues. If there were any recent changes in the home the parents should share this information with the psychiatrist.

In my setting it is not in their policy to care for sick children and they advise parents to keep their child at home for 48 hours from the last time they were sick, however they will care for a child who is recovering from an illness.
mTHCaroline Mauney English101-713 Charles Baker 22October2011 Foster Children Programs The foster care system in the United States addresses a precise set of cases--children who need temporary housing while their families sort out a difficult set of problems. Such children are likely to return to their families, but cannot do so until issues of employment, housing, and drug dependency are solved, which sometimes takes time. Many criticisms of foster care are based on practices that happened decades earlier (Jacobs).Today foster care is one useful tool in the arsenal of weapons available to social workers to assure that children are protected. Although In the United States this year, about half a million children
The cycle of abuse is difficult to interrupt; abused children often, as adults, become abusers themselves. To prevent child abuse in my community, I would provide home-based programs that provide education, health care and positive parenting skills to families and those who may be planning on having a
