Experience

  1. Child Protective Specialist

    State of Michigan

    Jan 2020 — Present · Lansing, MI, US

    Children’s Protective Service Specialist requires the ability to do the following tasks-Review reports of an alleged case of abuse or neglect-Investigate the case through interviews with key people, including children, parents, other relatives, and medical providers-Collect documentary evidence such as medical reports, arrest records, and court filings-Plan and coordinate services to help children and their families-Fill out paperwork outlining the investigation and the resulting actions that were taken.It is my goal as a caseworker to keep families together if possible. If we determine children need to be removed from a home for their own safety, we look to place them with an extended family member or someone else in the same community.As a caseworker I aim to reduce the trauma neglected or abused children experience. I also act to provide the person or people who have harmed the children with the services and support they need to end the abuse or neglect.Caseworkers like myself may find themselves in dangerous situations while confronting people they believe to have harmed children. We also are called on to testify in court proceedings and may help prepare the case against the abusive person or people.
