Response

1. Describe three to four examples from your local or state articles on CPS to support concepts from each of the organizational theories.

1. Child welfare entails defending the child's best interests while maintaining the state's role as the expert on socialization, prosperity and childhood. Child welfare is also known for being the loudest advocate for children's well-being. (Font, S. A., 2015)

2. Child abuse – According to the report, looking into child abuse did not reduce the risk of problems for children. (Font, S. A., 2015)

3. Child protection is sharing information in order to protect children who have been subjected to child abuse or neglect. Access to trustworthy and relevant data can help organizations that work with children identify the hazards to which they are exposed. (Font, S. A., 2015)

2. Explore two websites of agencies that CPS collaborates with and discuss the services that those agencies provide that support the state’s CPS organization.

1.The NYC for the Blind assists legally blind New York citizens, including the adults, elderly and children, with vocational rehabilitation and other direct assistance. One of its objectives is to assist clients in attaining financial independence.

2. Adult Protective Services – Receives, examines, and categorizes allegations of frail and vulnerable adults being neglected, exploited financially or abused. Assistance is given in the form of safety monitoring, referrals to other service providers, assistance with obtaining benefits, and money management.

3. Explore two websites and discuss how the different organizations address diversity.

1. Google – Monitors diversity to ensure equity and fairness in all sectors. For example, when women were more likely to be passed over for promotions. (Gompers, P. A, 2017)

2. Apple Inc. – Promotes diversity by employing 18% black and Hispanic workers. (Gompers, P. A, 2017)

4. How would you address ethics and diversity in your chosen role? How would you support the organizations diversity policies or initiatives?

Implement a policy that specifies and penalizes employee misbehavior. To guarantee that policy changes are successfully implemented, provide resources and educational opportunities to all staff. To report ethical violations, use a secure system. (Fleming, C. J. 2020)

To address diversity, encourage employees to work in a variety of groups, make decisions based on objective criteria, and be liberal when addressing employees.

You can help your organization's diversity policy by advocating for fair employment opportunities and recognizing the benefits of diversity. Implement successful workplace diversity practices.

5. What are the functions of CPS as a bureaucracy? Use Weber’s theory.

CPS's role is to intervene to safeguard children's safety and well-being. With the goal of allowing children to stay in their homes if they are found safe and capable of providing a safe environment. (Fleming, C. J. 2020)

6. What are the dysfunctions of CPS as a bureaucracy? Use Weber’s theory.

7. How would you apply systems theory to CPS?

In CPS, systems theory can be used to elicit children's descriptions of the roles they might play in their everyday lives. (Fleming, C. J. 2020)

8. What suggestions do you have for improving large bureaucratic agencies such as CPS?
