I remember having program goals that met the child's needs first and foremost.
This new goal of simply keeping a child safe and not creating unnecessary risk is the main focus or goal of my program. Everything else comes after risk assessment.
Of course this change is happening while parent expectations are heading in the opposite direction and they (parents) are now expecting care programs to do ALL things child related leaving very little for parents to be responsible for.
Unless you count posting pictures on social media and venting about how hard parenting is.
