What is the primary role of a placement worker in the child welfare process?

  1. Conducting therapy sessions with the children

  2. Managing the financial aspects of the case

  3. Coordinating visits between the child and biological parents

  4. Arranging suitable living arrangements for the child

The correct answer is: Arranging suitable living arrangements for the child

The primary role of a placement worker in the child welfare process is to arrange suitable living arrangements for the child. Placement workers are responsible for identifying and securing appropriate foster homes, group homes, or other living arrangements that meet the needs of the child in the child welfare system. This involves assessing the child's needs, preferences, and any specific requirements, as well as working to ensure that the environment is safe and supportive for the child's well-being. While therapy sessions with children, managing financial aspects of the case, and coordinating visits between the child and biological parents are all important components of the child welfare process, these tasks typically fall under the responsibilities of other professionals within the system (such as therapists, case managers, and visitation coordinators), rather than the primary role of a placement worker.
