The worker will receive referrals that meet the NC legal definition for neglect, abuse or dependency and, following the Multiple Response System, will conduct a family or investigative assessment to determine if the family needs further services to ensure the protection of children. The process involves reviewing agency records to be aware of family history, interviewing the parents, children, and collaterals, completing safety assessments, risk assessments, and strength/needs assessments throughout the fact-finding process. The worker will complete a comprehensive assessment and document all of the aspects of the family's life including their social activities, economic situation, environmental issues, mental health needs, activities of daily living, physical health needs, and a summary of strengths.

The worker will refer clients to community service agencies to address identified needs. The worker will follow standards outlined in Volume I. Chapter VIII of the Children's Services Manual and the Multiple Response Manual.
Decisions are often made under stressful and sometimes dangerous conditions. This requires a highly skilled worker who is very familiar with CPS policy, state and federal laws and agency expectations. Court action is necessary when a child is found to be at immediate risk of harm. The social worker will attempt to convene a Child and Family Team meeting to address the safety concerns and help the family consider appropriate options for the children. Depending on the emergent nature of the case, the worker will either work with legal staff to file a juvenile petition or assume non-secure custody.

4.Initiation of court action when necessary.
Primary Purpose of the Position
This agency is mandated to provide services to children who have been identified as neglected, abused, or dependent. The primary purpose of the Child Protective Services In-Home Social Worker, Investigations, Assessment and Treatment, (SW IA&T) is to execute this mandate. This is an advanced, professional level casework position, providing counseling and case management services for children who are identified as neglected and/or abused or dependent. This is done so by assessing family situations to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the family system and to evaluate the level of risk the child may face in the home. The social worker also provides other services to families with children under the age of 18 years who have requested such services from the agency in conjunction with protective services. Treatment and immediate responses will be provided to crisis situations for at risk children in the most complex and hostile of cases.
Work Schedule
Regular working hours are from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. However, in order to make the mandated number of face-to-face contacts in some situations, clients may need contact after hours and overtime may be required. Employees are given the option of flexing their workday to accommodate their clients' schedule without putting the social worker in an overtime situation. Employee serves on a rotation basis for periodic radio coverage.
Change in Responsibilities or Organizational Relationship
None
Following is a description of responsibilities and duties of this position listed in order of importance. All responsibilities and duties are essential to the effective performance of an In-Home Services SW IA&T.
Intervention developed
The In-Home Services SW IA&T is responsible for reviewing the case and becoming familiar with the family dynamics, identified problems and strengths of the family. Utilizing the Child and Family Team process, a Family Services Agreement is devised jointly with the family based on the Risk Assessment and Initial Case Plan. The Family Services Agreement contains objectives that are measurable, time limited, describe specific desired outcomes and identify necessary behavior changes. Identified needs, objectives and activities are directed toward alleviating the problems that lead to the abuse, neglect or dependency and addressing underlying issues that may contribute to the need for protective services. Once the case plan is devised, the helping process is defined.
Providing/arranging for counseling or supportive services
The In-Home Services SW IA&T provides counseling to the client directed toward the development and utilization of family support systems including recognition of develop-ment and utilization of strengths, overcoming personal, social, and environmental barriers, and utilizing agency and community resources. The worker seeks community resources to assist the client in attaining their goals.
Monitoring and assessment
The In-Home Services SW IA&T must monitor the Family Services Agreement and complete a Risk Assessment at various intervals in all neglect, abuse and/or dependency cases requiring continued mandated services. After a Family Services Agreement is negotiated, ongoing monitoring and assessment is necessary to determine if the plan continues to be appropriate and that the plan of intervention continues to address the identified needs of the parent and children. This monitoring includes regular interviews with the client in the home and requires collateral contact with other public agencies such as mental health, medical professionals, day care providers, health department personnel, and relatives and friends of the client. Updating the Family Services Agreement is necessary when changes in the family occur and it becomes necessary to revise the plan in order to implement an appropriate plan of protection for the child. Court action is used in the event the client does not meet the objective and the safety of the child is at risk. It is the worker's responsibility to provide the supervisor with a factual assessment in order for the joint decision to be made regarding court action. Prior to court action, the worker must complete the Risk Assessment, which indicates the risk and/or harm to the child by remaining in the home.
Use of the court and court preparation
Court activity is very much a part of the Social Worker's duties. Prior to the decision for court intervention or in the case of an emergency, immediately after obtaining a non-secure custody order, the worker will present her case to the Child and Family Team which makes recommendations as to alternatives to court or the children entering into agency custody. In the event that out of home placement is necessary or, to ensure permanence in a child's life, the Social Worker initiates court action through a non-secure custody order and/or petition, assesses placement options (relatives or foster care) and conjointly with the foster care worker develops an appropriate plan for the child. The worker prepares the child and family for separation, placement and the court process. The worker prepares a written assessment for the court, solicits witnesses when necessary, shares information with the child's Guardian ad Litem and testifies in court making the agency's recommendation. The worker must also follow up with written reports for court review as ordered or required. The worker may conduct an investigation of suspected abuse and when evidence of abuse is found the worker is required to report such information to the District Attorney and law enforcement within a specified time frame both verbally and also in writing. Law enforcement and the Case Manager interview the victim and perpetrator. Should the perpetrator be prosecuted, the worker may be a witness during court proceedings. Social Workers may be subpoenaed to testify in both civil and criminal proceedings due to their involvement with their clients.
Monitoring, reviewing, maintaining
The In-Home Services SW IA&T is responsible for monitoring, reviewing, and maintaining cases through various means. This is accomplished through frequent contact with the client by visiting them in their home, interviews in the agency and telephone contact, collateral contacts and in some situations periodic court reviews. Both face to face and collateral contacts are made monthly according to state standard. The Social Worker formally assesses the client's progress by updating and re-signing the Family Services Agreement on a quarterly basis and whenever there is a major change in the family, reassesses the risk to the child(ren) by completing the Risk Assessment form. These reviews assess the progress of the client in alleviating the factors that lead to the abuse, neglect or dependency and whether the client has been able to demonstrate they can provide a safe environment for their child (ren). Further services may be identified at this time. The Social Worker is required to present cases in the agency's foster care review team when a child comes into agency custody. This team closely monitors those children whose custody has been removed from his parents or whose custody has been placed with the Department of Social Services.
Interpretation of Child Protective Services
The In-Home Services SW IA&T is a member of the agency's public forum and occasion-ally is called on to speak at meetings of community agencies and organizations in an effort to emphasize the preventive nature of the agency's services and to familiarize the commu-nity with the reporting laws. The worker assists in providing information to other agencies and local citizens to better help them understand the functions of the agency. This allows for better rapport that leads to better delivery of services and cooperation from other disciplines.
Employee will participate in disaster related programs, including shelter duty, as needed.
Other duties as assigned and required.
In all duties outlined above, all forms of documentation required by the North Carolina Division of Social Services, North Carolina General Statutes, and Nash County Department of Social Services is included.
J. Obtain at least 24 hours of training annually, after an initial training of 72 hours before assuming case responsibility.
Section III: Other Position Characteristics

Great precision is required in this work. The worker must correctly gather information to determine whether or not referrals meet the neglect/abuse laws; investigate each case according to standards to determine if neglect/abuse exists; correctly assess a child's safety needs; and continually assess a family during intervention to assist in alleviating problems which led to neglect/abuse.
