Leadership in Action: Transforming Self and Structure

There is not Code of Ethics @ my place of employment. However there is a form that states the agency I provide services for has a Mission statement, Vision/Belief statement and a list of Goal Statements. All of which reflect the same thing. Mission Statement states:That we promote and facilitate a multi-disciplinary, child focused approach for the prevention, investigation, intervention, prosecution, and treatment of child physical and sexual assault. Vision/Belief Statement states that the Children's Advocacy Center(CAC) believes that all children have the right to breathe, stretch, grow and thrive in a loving, warm, safe and healthy families. These Services are offered by the CAC and are designed to be developmentally appropriate and culturally relevant. Briefly the Goals Statement: ~ is to ensure access to a neutral-based, child focused facility designed to meet abused children's needs for warmth, support, and protection while simultaneously supporting investigative efforts. ~To conduct forensic interviews of children who have allegedly been sexually assaulted. ~provide child abuse prevention through a crisis nursery that includes options for crisis care, temporary respite. ~ To provide advocacy and home-based family support services for 3-5 year old kids including play therapy, individual and family counseling, ad therapeutic child care services.

There are other services that this agency provides and the same rules follow for them.
