Subject:

Description:

This course provides an overview of the programmatic and policy issues which govern the service systems impacting children and their families. Special attention is given to the public and private child welfare systems. Specifically, this course builds on the policy content explored in the first year by examining how welfare reform, managed care/privatization, and legal procedures affect the delivery of services to children and their families. This course also helps the student evaluate policy decisions/implementation in light of social work's value base. Students will learn how to navigate the system in order to advocate for clients and promote system change. Finally, policies and programs are examined for their differential impact on oppressed and vulnerable populations.
