A screening and training program for caregivers who work in children's homes was designed and implemented in an attempt to minimize risk for the employing family, reduce potential liability for the referral agency, and maximize employment opportunities for low-income women. The use of an extensive clinical interview, a check of public records and a multi-faceted educational program comprised the selection and training process. It was found that no one screening device could eliminate all risks nor assure a quality caregiver, but multiple screenings were valuable in identifying successful candidates. An open-ended clinical interview conducted by a multi-disciplinary team was invaluable in revealing risks and identifying training issues. |
