Release Of Information Child Protective Services Check: Fill & Download for Free

That depends on what you mean by “welfare check.” Who came to check on you, the police or a social worker from your social service agency?When a report is called in for child protective services or adult protective services, no one is allowed to release that information to you. The person who checks on you cannot confirm or deny who made the report. It is a Class B misdemeanor for someone to release that information to you, so please don’t be upset with the worker who comes to check on you. They have a license to protect, and they are only wanting to make sure you’re okay and see if you have any needs. You also have the right to not speak with them.If law enforcement came to check on you, the laws may be different. If it happens multiple times by the same person, the police may be able to tell you, in case you need to file a protection order from that person if they are harassing you.Generally though, the reporter is just wanting to look out for you and make sure you’re okay. It’s usually well intended. I hope you’re doing okay myself!

Living with confidentiality is honestly not as hard as it seems. It is hard, sometimes. But not that hard. One of the skills you have to learn, as a therapist, is distinguishing between the stuff that is yours, emotionally, and the stuff that isn't. That allows for pretty open conversation about your day—just not anybody else’s.So—if I had a really great day at work, I might say that all my clients made it in on time, and ready to work hard; I’d probably feel pretty engaged, and have a strong sense of accomplishment, on a day like that. I might have had someone who had really been struggling to move forward, and had an amazing breakthrough moment, and felt really proud of both of us for sticking it out. I might have had a session with a really conflictive couple or family, and been able to help them bridge some gaps in their communication. Somebody might have gotten their tax refund, and paid an overdue therapy bill!On a bad day, I might have been on the phone to Crisis two or three times; might have extended a session because a client wasn't safe to leave; might have been present with someone who was eyeballs-deep in some really acute traumatic re-experiencing. I might have had to tell someone that there is no way they can make their loved one get better. I might have had to call child protective services, or the police. I also might have had a worsening sinus infection, flat tire, or broken printer; there is actually more to my day than client contact. But there are lots of things I can share about my experience, without sharing any details or identifying information about client experience.The other thing about confidentiality is—like, if I have a friend with a really juicy secret? That can be hard to keep to yourself, sometimes, right? Which is why there are so MANY questions on Quora about how to earn forgiveness from said friend, lol. But most of us, when there is a secret that could really injure someone, if it was shared, will manage to keep it quiet. As a therapist, every confidence your client shares is that kind of secret. Confidentiality isn't just, like, an ethical requirement that you check off the list because you have to, and keep going. Very often, it's one of the first ways a client learns whether they can really trust you to be who you say you are.…That makes it easier, too. People who come to therapy trust us so much. They offer up incredibly vulnerable parts of themselves for minute inspection; they lay out their most fearful, shameful secrets, and ask for help in repairing, releasing, or revealing them. I tell clients how deeply I respect and admire them all the time—not that they necessarily all believe me—because how can you not be inspired by that? Coming to therapy takes so much fucking courage. Safeguarding confidentiality isn't like keeping a smirky secret about your kid sister’s boyfriend from your mom, ha-ha, isn't she cute. It's like your biggest hero, the person you most look up to, your most significant source of inspiration, asked you to help them out, and you have the chance to earn that person’s trust, and make a difference in their life.Most of the time, that's a pretty easy call. Breaking confidentiality, when it’s legally and ethically required, is actually much harder.

Well if her children are placed by either the daughter or child protective services I believe that she does not have custody of them. I think she may have to go through child protective services to regain custody of her children. I'm not sure though. It could depend on the reason for her imprisonment. I have worked with children who were removed from parents due to imprisonment and the released parent then has to work towards regaining custody. You should check with an attorney about this issue. Whether you are the one seeking custody after prison release or the one who has taken over for an imprisoned parent as the one in charge of the children a child custody attorney could answer your question if they get the complete information on your specific case. Until parental rights are taken away there is always a chance for the parent to gain custody again. Since I don't know any specifics that's the best I can answer your question. Laws and court rulings are different in many different countries and areas.
