Investigations for protective services

Describe some of the places where you will probably be using the skills you are developing in this course on Investigations for Protective Services.

Choose a likely scenario related to your practice setting or another human services setting of your choice (i.e., juvinile setting , child or elder abuse investigation, violation of regulations in a child care or other care giving setting, abuse of a client in a residential care facility ).

Apply the readings in this module to your chosen scenario. How might the work on memory and cognitive interviewing be applied? How would you use root cause analysis to plan and implement your investigation? This assignment is to demonstrate your understanding of the readings. Make sure to discuss theory and its application, and use citations.

our analysis should be from 5 or more pages in length. Again – focus on theory and what it means to you. Be sure to cite any and all sources correctly according to APA style so that your academic integrity is not called into question.

The article discusses root cause analysis in determining sources of industrial accidents, a very useful application of this technique. Archetypes for Organisational Safety – Karen Marais and Nancy G. Leveson
