Social Work Case Plan

The case study I read involves three children who were under the Child Protective Plans and in April 2010 a social worker begun to take over their case. This case had been worked on by an assessment team who filed a core assessment prior to the case being handed over to the social worker. There was a two year old, four year old, and a seven year child who the social worker had to advocate for (CSWM, 2014).
The main concern that got the Children’s Social Care involved was due to one of the children having facial injuries all within fifteen months.
