Collaborative Process for the Child Welfare System:
Improving the system to achieve better outcomes for children and families
Assessing Our Common Values:Building a Shared Vision

What was the purpose of completing the Common Values Survey?
• Highlighting where we have common values that create a platform for collective work
• Understanding where there is dissonance in our views and the challenges those differences present
• Appreciating the reasons for areas of dissonance based on the role that we play in the system, our background, level of experience, etc.

Analyzing the survey results:
• Demographics• Values (Shared or
dissonant) • Important Programs

Stakeholder Role
![Page 11: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The most important function of the D&N system is to provide children
with safe and stable homes.
![Page 12: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
All families that in the child welfare system should have an opportunity to receive treatment so that
children can remain in their family of origin.
![Page 13: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The problems of Native American children are significant in our community.
![Page 14: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The problem of overrepresentation and disparate treatment of children and families
of color is significant in our community.
![Page 15: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
There are things we can do as a community to effectively eliminate or significantly reduce this
overrepresentation or disparate treatment.
![Page 16: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dealing with familial problems related to alcohol and drugs, domestic violence, mental illness, & chronic neglect will create better outcomes for
children.
![Page 17: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rank these problems and corresponding treatments in order of importance in creating
community based solutions.
![Page 18: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Rate these same programs in terms of their individual importance in creating a system that
will improve outcomes for children and families.
![Page 19: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Break time!
![Page 20: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
People who abuse or neglect their children should be held responsible for their actions.
![Page 22: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Our first choice should be that children are never removed from their families of origin.
![Page 23: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Providing people who abuse or neglect their children with treatment is the best way to help their children achieve safety and permanency.
![Page 24: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Extended family members provide important resources for children and families in the
child welfare system.
![Page 25: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Parents who do not comply with their treatment plans should face contempt and
possible jail time as a consequence.
![Page 26: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If parents show that they have been using drugs contrary to court order, they should be sanctioned through limitation of visitation with their children.
![Page 27: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The time frames for permanency for children under 6 (one year from the date of removal) is unreasonable
in light of the problems faced by parents.
![Page 28: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It is appropriate that we treat cases with young children in a more expedited
fashion than we do for older children.
![Page 29: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Delivering services closer to the family will improve outcomes for children and
families.
![Page 30: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
In our community, the “system” should involve people from the community to plan and evaluate
programs that serve families affected by child abuse/neglect.
![Page 31: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
In our community courts do a good job of involving community members in planning and
evaluating programs that serve our families.
![Page 32: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Judges as well as managers and supervisors at DHS have a responsibility to lead collaborative
community responses to the problems posed by abuse and neglect.
![Page 33: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Government cannot provide the primary answer to the problems posed by abuse and neglect. Instead, the family, community organizations and community
members must act in concert with courts, attorneys and DHS.
![Page 34: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Significant barriers to interagency cooperation would be removed if DHS, treatment providers, judicial
officers and court system stakeholders were involved in training that stresses the values of collaboration.

Discovering Your Vision
“Vision is the best manifestation of creative imagination and the primary motivation of
human action. It’s the ability to see beyond our present reality, to create, to invent what does not yet exist, to become what we not
yet are. It gives us the capacity to live out of our imagination instead of our memory.”
Stephen Covey
![Page 55: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
“Strategic Plans are worthless unless there is first a strategic vision.
The process of strategic planning is a process of learning.”

How do leaders reinforce the group’s shared vision?
• Leaders should repeatedly share stories that reinforce the theme of the shared vision;
• Group members should be invited to share their own stories at the beginning of each meeting so that team members refocus on the reasons for their efforts, i.e. to help children and families
![Page 57: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Creative Tension: The difference between what is and what we
imagine it could be

• The Vision (our world view)• SMART Goals to achieve the vision• Actions steps (activities) to achieve the goals
Central Tenet: Thinking Forward
– Working Backwards
![Page 59: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Harnessing the Team’s Creative Tension
![Page 60: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
A better idea!
• Design your idea generating process to allow group members to alternate time between working with the group, in small groups and alone
• Assure that the team members feel equal and that authority figures follow the same rules as other members
• Assemble and group the ideas generated through this process and allow team members to vote for the two or three that they believe are most important.
![Page 61: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Develop Provocative Goal Statements
• Allow team members to self-select which action area they are committed to promote
• Allow team members in their smaller teams to reflect on what the topic area would look like at its best– What does it look like? What is being done
differently?
• List the key elements of the topic at its best and prioritize the list
![Page 62: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

A Provocative Propositions Is…
An expansive statement of how participating members plan to organize themselves in pursuit of their dreams
They are provocative in the sense that they stretch the status quo, challenge common assumptions, and offer bold possibilities for change.
![Page 63: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
An Example: Communication—City Government
Communication with our citizens is the cornerstone of a responsible city government. We openly and honestly communicate with the residents of our city using equitable and participatory processes. We actively solicit input from citizens and guarantee a response. Systems within our organization are designed and redesigned with input from citizens.
![Page 64: Assessing Our Common Values: Building a Shared Vision](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56813437550346895d9b2924/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Great Provocative Propositions…Are provocative – they stretch and challengeAre desired (people want to create them)Describe what is wanted in a positive way
(rather than saying what is not wanted)Are written in the present tense, as if they are
already happeningRemain grounded / linked to the stories of our
past when we were at our best
