SWK 644 - Child Welfare I 3 Credit Hours
This course will cover the areas needed by a new child welfare worker to adequately provide services to children and youth in Illinois. It will examine professional and ethical behavior in child welfare, as well as cultural competence in working with clients. Focus will be on the engagement process, assessment, planning, intervention, and evaluation of children needing services and their families. Students will also learn trauma-informed practice and how to implement it with children and youth whose care has been compromised. Students will become familiar with the State of Illinois Policies and Procedures, which guide child welfare practice in Illinois. This course will prepare students to take the Child Welfare Employee Licensure Exam and the Child Endangerment and Risk Assessment Protocol Test, both of which are needed for students to be able to successfully complete a Concentration Year Field Placement in Child Welfare with youth receiving Illinois Department of Children and Family Services interventions. These two exams will be offered as part of the course.
