Department of Social Development, Mazowe DistrictSocial Worker
Dec. 2021In my role as a social worker at the Department of Social Development, I primarily handle statutory duties. Guided by Children’s Act (chapter 5.06), I work closely with children facing significant harm and ensure assessment is done within time frameworks. For effective assessment the main tool used is the Record of Information and it has the three domains of assessment which help in putting plans in place to support their safety, growth and development in accordance and in the best interest of the child. In non-statutory settings at the Department I work with children and vulnerable Adults. I am bonded with the Older Persons Act chapter (17.11) of 2005, this legislation helps in protecting vulnerable populations.
