The Outlined Departmental services include;
Supporting individuals and families at risk or in crisis.

Failure of the department and Duty Manager to ascertain risk or crises
in context of their families or communities pursuant to Government
mandate endorsed by Cabinet and in response to the Ford Review. A
further failure of departmental staff and primary representatives to
alert the Duty Manager of any previous contact or information in
regards to individual cases, whether it be lack of accurate record
keeping or communication bottlenecks and breakdowns affecting the
overall outcome of individual cases. A failure of the Duty Manager to
liaise effectively with departmental staff or other agencies may also
be involved in this matter.

Mandate (Cabinet endorsed response to the Ford Review)
Secondary and tertiary level services, identifying and supporting
children and young people, in the context of their families and

Department for Child Protection Role Clarity White Paper Points of
Order
DRAFT 7.4.08
Failure of the department in regards to this below;

An erroneous expectation that other agencies will now assume welfare
responsibilities that they have not had transferred to them.
Further more to the core business of the department, a huge failure of
the ability to ascertain or investigate properly the reasons for and
leading to crises or the intervention of Police or other agencies. The
Massive Failure of the established after hours Crises Care Unit to
liaise effectively with Police at point of intervention and the
department later and further more with the Duty Manager given the role
of case management and resolution. These failures are foreseeable as
the Duty Manager resolves the case with little or no reason or
information for the crises or Police or Crises Care involvement. A
failure of the Duty Manager to liaise effectively or at all with
interested parties or complainants in regards to the current case
before them. Even though these parties may have initiated contact with
the department or Police or Crises Care.
Referral, liaison and consultation, with other agencies and
departments in regards to individual cases is lacking from the
(Departmental Office) Department and the Duty Manager

Memoranda of Understanding at the local service delivery level are to
be established with key services managing issues that impact on
departmenal core business. To cover referral, liaison and
consultation.
Drug and alcohol services
Mental health services
Department of Housing and Works

Failure of the Duty Manager to ascertain or investigate effectively in
a limited communication base of just talking to the referred client of
the Crises Care Unit only. Resolutions to cases made without
consultation with Police or Interested Parties.

No referral, liaison and consultation, with other agencies and
departments in regards to individual cases or follow up, or resolution
to the causes of crises. Clients being dumped on the streets of
(Departmental Office) with no accommodation or referral or follow up
to other departments.


The name of the department being misinterpreted to exclude service 3,
individual and family support,
An erroneous expectation that other agencies will now assume welfare
responsibilities that they have not had transferred to them,

Failure of the Department at (Departmental Office) and the Duty
Manager in their role and procedures are clearly apparent and have
been determined in the case now before the Official Complaints
Department.

Acedia Allover Earth...

For sure as the meek do seek; and as so many by the wayside
Of Acedia I do now speak, and to which I shall never Abide.
For the levels are so astounding as the sorrows of the world
And so many worketh death with the theme of war unfurled.

Negligence in action; bound to the depression and the giving in,
Temptation here from ourselves own inward expressions sowing sin.
Our apathy the bed of our thoughts as we lullaby our own suicides
The vice that stalls the progress as our own deliverance now hides.

Department for Child Protection
Role Clarity White Paper Points of Order
DRAFT 7.4.08
Mandate (Cabinet endorsed response to the Ford Review)
Secondary and tertiary level services, identifying and supporting
children and young people, in the context of their families and
communities.

The Department’s mission (Minister endorsed)
Provide for the protection and care for children and young people and
support at-risk individuals and families in resolving crises.
An erroneous expectation that other agencies will now assume welfare
responsibilities that they have not had transferred to them
Department services
Supporting individuals and families at risk or in crisis.

The Department for Child Protection was created as a result of the
Government’s response to the Ford Review [PDF, 1mb] (Recommendations
[PDF, 58kb]), the independent review of the old Department for
Community Development.
The Department’s major focus is on meeting the needs of vulnerable
children and families. It is responsible for protecting and caring
for children, and supporting people at risk of crisis.
The Department needs to be clear and appropriately strategic about its
role – provider of specific crisis responses, always a responsive
collaborator and sometimes leader of broader multi agency strategies.
Memoranda of Understanding at the local service delivery level are to

departmenal core business. To cover referral, liaison and

Department for Child Protection
Role Clarity Paper


Mandate (Cabinet endorsed response to the Ford Review)
Secondary and tertiary level services, identifying and supporting
children and young people, in the context of their families and
communities.
The Department’s mission (Minister endorsed)
Provide for the protection and care for children and young people and
support at-risk individuals and families in resolving crises.
Department services
Supporting young people and children in care of the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO).
Protecting young people and children from abuse.
Supporting individuals and families at risk or in crisis.


Individual and family support
While the department’s responsibility for children in care and child
protection services is clear, the individual and family support
service has potential to be unclear due to:

The name of the department being misinterpreted to exclude service 3,
individual and family support,
An erroneous expectation that other agencies will now assume welfare
responsibilities that they have not had transferred to them,

Family support being a strategy to achieve protection of children,
and
The reality that the provision of individual and family support can
compete for priority with urgent and more forensic child protection
services.

Therefore, while the Department has a clear responsibility for
individual and family support services, the role will vary with the
issue, the other resources that can be engaged and the immediacy of
the response that is necessary.
The Department’s role may need to be clarified internally and with
other agencies in the given circumstances. It will vary between:
Delivering a crisis response to individuals and families,
Providing support to families to prevent more serious risk to
children,
Collaborating in a multi-faceted or broader strategy for families and/
or communities, or
Leading a multi-faceted or broader strategy.

Acedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Acedia (also accidie or accedie, from Latin acidÄ­a, and this from
Greek ἀκηδία, negligence) describes a state of listlessness or torpor,
of not caring or not being concerned with one's position or condition
in the world. It can lead to a state of being unable to perform one's
duties in life. Its spiritual overtones make it related to but
distinct from depression.[1] Acedia was originally noted as a problem
among monks and other ascetics who maintained a solitary life.


Description

The Oxford Concise Dictionary of the Christian Church [2] defines
acedia as "a state of restlessness and inability either to work or to
pray". Some see it as the precursor to sloth - one of the seven deadly
sins. In his sustained analysis of the vice in Q. 35 of the Second
Part (Secunda Secundae) of his book Summa Theologica, theologian
Thomas Aquinas identifies acedia with "the sorrow of the
world" (compare Weltschmerz) that "worketh death" and contrasts it
with that sorrow "according to God" described by St. Paul in 2 Cor.
7:10. For Aquinas, acedia is "sorrow about spiritual good in as much
as it is a Divine good." It becomes a mortal sin when reason consents
to man's "flight" (fugam) from the Divine good, "on account of the
flesh utterly prevailing over the spirit." (ST, II-II, 35, 3). Acedia
is essentially a flight from the world. It leads to not caring even
that one does not care. The ultimate expression of this is a despair
that ends in suicide.

Aquinas's teaching on acedia in Q. 35 is rendered fully intelligible
when read in light of his prior teaching on that to which the vice is
directly opposed, charity's gifted "spiritual joy," which he explores
in Q. 28 of the Secunda Secundae . As Aquinas says, "One opposite is
known through the other, as darkness through light. Hence also what
evil is must be known from the nature of good." (ST, I, 48, 1). The
demon of acedia holds an important place in early monastic demonology
and psychology. Evagrius of Pontus, for example, characterizes it as
"the most troublesome of all" of the eight genera of evil thoughts. As
with those who followed him, Evagrius sees acedia as a temptation, and
the great danger lies in giving in to it.
