Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

Who is responsible for identifying the needs and services for a family?

1. Guardian ad litem and parent's attorney

2. Counselor and family members

3. Child protection's team and counselor

4. Supervisor and child legal services

The correct answer is: Counselor and family members

Counselors and family members are responsible for identifying the needs and services for a family because they have a personal and intimate understanding of the family dynamics and can identify any challenges or areas where support may be needed. The other options listed involve individuals who may play a role in supporting the family's needs, but are not directly responsible for identifying them. For example, a guardian ad litem and parent's attorney may advocate for the family's needs in a legal setting, but they are not responsible for identifying those needs. Similarly, child protection's team and child legal services may be involved in addressing and providing services for the family, but they are not responsible for identifying the needs. A supervisor may also oversee and support the work of counselors and family members, but they are not directly involved in identifying the needs of the family. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate and accurate choice.
