Human services agencies have a variety of guidelines and regulations with oversight from numerous entities. Attention to detail is vital in our providing quality service to our clients.
The inherent aptitude, inspiration and formal education of staff members from different departments varies greatly. In our work, different duties may blend together and functional roles evolve when promoted. New challenges may exist for our supervisors and there appears to be a void in the training of important new concepts.
Expanding our understanding of the variety of departments and their functions can improve our teamwork. It is vital that we learn and maintain good practice that includes meeting legal expectations as we strive to conduct our meaningful work with children, youth and families.
