PRESENTATIONS FEATURING:

  1. Dr Rika Swanzen - rika@swanzen.co.za
    Rika is a social worker and child and youth care academic. As part of her doctoral studies, she developed the ChildPIE©: A Classification System for categorising childhood social functioning problems. This hybrid system has the potential to professionalise the assessment practices of social service professionals, while also providing coding for the reporting of services to funders and clients.
  2. Prof Wim Roestenburg - roestenburg01@gmail.com
    Wim Roestenburg is a Professor of Social Work at the Northwest University, School of Psychosocial Health. The ZETA scale was developed in response to a need for simplified measurement tools in social work and tools that facilitate uniform communication within multi-disciplinary teams that work in a restorative care model. The ZETA scale is a rating scale that is completed by the social worker on strength of her observations of the client system, regardless of the size of the client system. The emphasis of the ZETA is on improving the quality of services to clients  
  3. Ms Yolande Heyns - yolandeallers@gmail.com
    Yolande Heyns is a PhD student conducting her doctoral studies under supervision of Prof WJH Roestenburg. The ECO-AIP is a combined assessment framework and work protocol for Child and Youth Care facilities in rural communities that work with and care for children that have developmental delays and disabilities. The ECO-AIP framework empowers caregivers and social workers by applying knowledgeable observation and assessment practices to accurately identify and assess developmental delays in children, whist the protocol assures that routine assessments are done of children during which the framework is used. Similarly, the ECO-AIP is designed to improve service delivery quality to child clients in the CYCC.
  4. Leon Fulcher, MSW, PhD - leon.fulcher@gmail.com
    Leon is an international consultant with over forty years’ experience in the social work and child and youth care fields – in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region – as a practitioner, manager, educator, researcher, scholar and writer. For a decade he Chaired the Board of Governors for The International Child and Youth Care Network at www.cyc-net.org where his most recent publications can also be found at The CYC-Net Press.
