Время науки The Times of Science 2016 23 The role of the social worker as an advocate, negotiator or mediator:  The Social Worker needs to fully embrace her role and believe in the program model of a second chance.  Accepting that in many cases, parents can change with the right type of support systems around them.  The belief that children within dysfunctional family structures need to be protected, kept safe, not necessarily always removed from the family setting. Advocacy = Education, support, accountability:  To prevent child maltreatment among risk-families through the provision of supportive family services.  To assure children‘s safety within the home and preserve intact families in which children have been maltreated, when the family‘s problems can be addressed effectively.  To address the problems of families whose children have been placed in foster care so that reunification may occur in a safe and stable manner in accordance with the Adoption and Safe Families Law.  To support adoptive families by providing support services as necessary so that they can make a lifetime commitment to their children.
