Child Protective Service Workers

Child protective service workers

A) make easily difficult decisions about a child's safety if left in its own home because they have a lot of information to guide them at the time of the initial investigation
B) judgments about removing a child from its own home are not swayed by the workers own emotions of anger, or fear because they are well trained professionals
C) may use standardized risk-assessment interview guides and scales to help predict later repeated reports of maltreatment, but better instruments are needed
D) are protected from criticism by the public's understanding of the difficulty of their jobs when a child with whom they have had contact is subsequently injured or killed
