Field Placement Observation Notes/Assignment
Based on an observed or experienced practice moment or procedure in a child protection/Child welfare organization, write an academic paper in which you concretely and effectively use all relevant course material, readings, and resources to critically analyze and reflect on the power, bureaucratic, and organizational arrangements shaping and informing the practice moment or example. Your paper should discuss how power, managerial, and bureaucratic
conditions enhance or impede practice, including:
· How these conditions
determine and shape professional relationships between workers and between
workers and clients.
·      How
power in the form of, for example, social/agency policies, organizational
arrangements, and bureaucratic conditions determine practice, and how these
conditions affect the outcome of professional relationships and the lives of
the individuals, families and/or communities. Etc
