Assignment
You are working for DCF as a case worker. You have been assigned to a group that will be investigating the reported abuse/neglect. Your case group members are charged with researching resources/services that are available to the child/children, and/or family to aid in the proper development of the child/children and the positive growth of the family.
While beginning your investigation you have come across two other situations that are affecting the family, i.e. lack of food, inadequate shelter, etc.
Your group must come up with:
· At least three resources – your case may require more thanthree.
One resource must be a local resource that is offered in Colchester.
