...to the elderly and to report elder abuse. With a total of three divisions and eight offices, this specific department also houses the Division of Family and Children Services [DFCS]. These representatives and workers do what they can by all means necessary when it comes to the care and welfare of children of the state. However, there are times when they fall short of their jobs and the children suffer. Throughout this paper, the reader will come to identify the current issues that the agency is facing, what is currently being done to correct those and recommendations for a brighter future. The funding of afterschool programs, emergency food assistance, the proper investigation of child abuse and neglect, and adoption needs are just a few of the services that DFCS provides to its clients. They are the department that assists and oversees the safety and prosperity of children by offering what it can to parents and guardians to make things just a bit easier as they deem appropriate. For children to become upstanding and productive citizens of society, they must have the relationships with loving adults who offer appropriate shelter and meals as well as an adequate environment to grow and thrive. Yet, some parents are not able or refuse to provide these simple, basic necessities of life. This is when DFCS steps in and takes over. With the overwhelming reports and cases that overload the workers, they are doing what they are able to maintain sufficient order. It is coming to a point...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Division of Family and Children Services “DFCS,” where I was employed for 1.5 years in Child Protective Services “CPS,” is under the Georgia Department of Human Resources “GA DHR” that investigates child abuse and neglect, provides placement for foster children, provides assistance to low-income families in the form of childcare assistance, on-the-job training, and other support services. In an effort automate case management procedures, DFCS participated in a federally funded program that offers states the opportunity to create SACWIS (State Automated Child Welfare Information System). The plan to implement this system was divided into phases as follows: Planning Phase, Work Phase and Active Implementation Phase. These plans entail implementing new technologies through SACWIS and partnering with community groups that may serve the same clients and work process redesign where the actual case management duties are automated through the system. Using Kotter’s Change Model, I analyzed the strategic change initiatives DFCS initiated and gathered very interesting results. Additionally, I analyzed this organization to be in the growth phase in the life cycle of development, entering maturity. The change was driven by the state of the economy and the need of the department to manage the volume of applicants, child abuse and neglect cases on the rise, and the need for technology advances within this government division. I evaluate the efforts to...

...lives in poverty and the infrastructure is in tatters: reportedly, 40 per cent of its street lights don't work. This is where a long-term plan called the Detroit Future City (DFC) framework, announced by a study group in January, could help. Its aim is to regenerate the city over the next two decades by downsizing Detroit's infrastructure – tailored to its 2 million residents in the 1950s – to fit its current population of 700,000. To this end, the DFC proposes that the city take some unusual steps. It proposes converting the city's 5200 hectares of abandoned space into ecological sanctuaries and urban farms. Hundreds of small farming and gardening initiatives have already sprung up in recent years, bolstered by private investment and grants. Other initiatives include building "blue infrastructure," which would convert unused streets into conduits to collect rainwater for irrigation and relieve the pressure on Detroit's sewer system, and new regulations to increase energy efficiency across the city. But with the city saddled with debts estimated at $18 billion, will these plans ever take off? They will take several years to initiate, so the city's bankruptcy filing should not slow them much, says urban law expert John Mogk of Wayne State University in Detroit, who was not involved in the DFC report. Working out deals with creditors should take two to three years, after which...

...INFRATSRUCTURE The Eleventh Five Year Plan emphasized the need for removing infrastructure bottlenecks for sustained growth. It, therefore, proposed an investment of US $500 billion in infrastructure sectors through a mix of public and private sectors to reduce deficits in identified infrastructure sectors. As a percentage of the gross domestic product (GDP), investment in infrastructure was expected to increase to around 9 per cent. For the first time the contribution of the private sector in total investment in infrastructure was targeted to exceed 30 per cent. Total investment in infrastructure during the Eleventh Plan is estimated to increase to more than 8 per cent of GDP in the terminal year of the Plan --higher by 2.47 percentage point s a s c ompa red t o the Tenth Pl an. The private sector is expected t o be contributing nearly 36 per cent of this investment.

...Handling Situations Assertively Assertiveness is a skill necessary in the profession of Social Work. Having the ability to effectively express ones-self in a positive way can be difficult. All too often a social worker can be too aggressive or passive when interacting with colleagues or employees, finding a happy medium takes assertiveness. I have had the opportunity to handle a situation at my internship at the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS). Being an intern at DFCS means shadowing extremely busy Family Protection Specialists (FPS) or workers. I have had to be assertive when finding workers to shadow, many of them get busy and do not see the importance of having an intern to shadow them. Building a rapport with the workers...
