Retaining Novices to Become Expert Child Protection Practitioners : Creating Career Pathways in Direct Practice / Karen Healy in The british journal of social work, 2, vol. 39 (March 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 2, vol. 39 (March 2009) . - pp. 299-317 Titre : Retaining Novices to Become Expert Child Protection Practitioners : Creating Career Pathways in Direct Practice Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Karen Healy, Auteur ; Gabrielle Meagher, Auteur ; Joel Cullin, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 299-317 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Carrière TS Enfants:Enfants -- Protection, assistance, etc. # Travailleurs sociaux Résumé : "In many post-industrial countries, concerns have been raised about high turnover of professional staff and the high proportion of novice practitioners on the frontline in child protection agencies. High turnover imposes costs on individual practitioners, employing organizations, service users (particularly vulnerable children) and society more broadly. We analyze the views of employers, policy makers and researchers in Australia, England and Sweden about factors contributing to high turnover at the frontline. We find that a combination of retention disincentives (push factors) and alternative career opportunities (pull factors) contributes to high turnover among frontline practitioners. Based on these findings, we propose a strategy for enhancing workforce retention at the frontline in child protection. The strategy involves creation of a career pathway that enables, and encourages, novice child protection workers to become advanced practitioners."

Working in Human Services : How Do Experiences and Working Conditions in Child Welfare Social Work Compare? / Pia Tham in The british journal of social work, 5, vol. 39 (July 2009)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 5, vol. 39 (July 2009) . - pp. 807-827 Titre : Working in Human Services : How Do Experiences and Working Conditions in Child Welfare Social Work Compare? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pia Tham, Auteur ; Gabrielle Meagher, Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 807-827 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Etude comparative # Service social TS Enfants:Enfants -- Protection, assistance, etc. # Ressources humaines # Travail:Conditions de travail # Travailleurs sociaux Résumé : "Child welfare agencies in many rich countries are having difficulty recruiting and retaining social workers. However, these problems are not unique to child welfare: retention problems have also been widely reported in both mental and general health facilities. In this paper, we compare the perceptions of work and working conditions held by child welfare social workers with the perceptions held by other professional human service workers in the public sector in Sweden. Do the social workers' experiences of their tasks or organizational conditions differ from the other groups, and, if so, how? Are workforce problems particularly acute in child welfare, or do social workers in this field share more or less common problems with other human service professionals? We found that although social workers in general, and child welfare social workers in particular, made positive assessments of some dimensions of their working lives, social work was unusually demanding among human service professions on several measures of workload, complexity of tasks and quality of management. The strains of the job that social workers expressed call upon employers to promote working conditions that offer more support, and to recognize and value social workers for their work."
