for long term to overcome from verbal and mental abuse practices will be performed.
 The role and responsibility of the organization are to provide care and treatment for
children like Jonno. The organization provides support children through arranging a
private home by referring to a foster parent.

drug and other addictive behaviors. As Jonno is still not enough mature to understand his
rights hence it is the responsibility of the organization to take steps for the right to appeal
for him.

3. According to my perception, the role of the supervisor is very critical for the success of any
organization and its function. In order to improve the supervision following steps can be
followed:
 Discuss concerns with your supervisors
 Provide priority to active supervision
 Develop a dashboard for the performance
 Design a scorecard on a daily basis for your supervisors
 Daily team meeting shall be implemented
4. The process of case management is a collaborative process where assess, plans, monitoring,
coordination, implementation, and evaluation are followed in order to achieve the objective
associated with the health of an individual. For the analysis of the client and his condition client
screening tools are used as the policy (Carranza, 2019).
The process of case management is interactive which helps to monitor and review a service that
ensures the safety and protection of a child. This process can be improved when the proper
training about the ethical and cultural considerations provided to participants (Jordan et. al.,
2019).
Stakeholders of any organization provide support to complete any process or program
successfully by showing their interests. Hence by sharing the information and data collection
with the stakeholders will help the organization for resolving the cases easily and effectively
(Szymanski, 2019).
Two-way communication now days are most effective strategy that can be used for case
management. It will help the organization in dealing with its clients and managing the
relationship with the participants (Iwamasa, and Hays, 2019).
There are four factors through which the continuous improvement receives contribution:
i. Leadership

Community Services 16
ii. Focus on resolving the problem instead to fight against it
iii. Purpose Constancy
iv. Long term mindset shifting
For the monitoring process following steps has to be followed
i. Check if the problem is changed which was identified
ii. Identify if the referral is correctly made
iii. Examination of the outcomes
iv. It is important to ensure if the plans are changed
v. Examine if the case is closed (Allen et. al., 2019)
