Introduction CPS is a specialized social service targeting children who are believed to be abused or neglected to their parents or other adults who had an effect on their parental responsibility (Steingold, 2008). The aim of the organization is to reduce the risk of continued sexual, physical or mental abuse. Child Protective Services (CPS) is present in every state in the United States and is mandated under ARS 8-802 to protect children who are alleged to be neglected or abused (Steingold, 2008). The CPS program offers specialized social services that aim at preventing abuse, neglect and dependency of children (Mauk, 2008). CPS collects screens and scrutinizes accusations of child neglect and abuse, analyses a child’s impending risk of harm, assesses the child safety and weighs up the conditions that refute or support the alleged neglect or abuse and requirement for emergency intervention (Koch, 2007). The program also offers services tailored to stabilize a family unit in crisis and conserve the unit by reducing risk factors. The purpose of understanding the policies governing the staffing and termination of employment of the child protection services is to assess their formulation, application and enforcement. In addition, this will aid in the identification of any loopholes in their formulation or implementation (Mauk, 2008). Due Process of Employee Termination at CPS Problem Statement It is clearly stated in the employment policy that an employee shall be provided with an electronic copy of the employment policy which also comprises of the employment termination clauses and this shall be published at the CPS website besides being discussed at the new employee orientation (Bayer, 2007; Steingold, 2008). Unfortunately, this is not true since such policy neither exists at the site address nor is it discussed at the employee orientation (Koch, 2007; Steingold, 2008). An understanding of the termination policy as it relates to employees is necessary for them to seek legal redress in cases of infringement (Koch, 2007). Therefore, the problem at CPS is one of failing to communicate the policy to the employees. Background and Analysis of the Policy Issue Organizational structure The Child Protective Services is supervised by the state and administered by the counties. The CPS at the state level is divided into six organizational units. The Family and Services Units deals with in-home services; the Abuse and Neglect Unit deals with the child neglect and abuse cases; the Behavioral Services Unit deals with the cases which involve children placements while the Special Services Unit deals with the fostering placement recruiter. The Administrative Unit deals with clerical functions (Steingold, 2008). The organization is headed by the Executive Director. The Child Protection Services has got several stakeholders including US Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Administration on Children, Youth and Families Children’s Bureau, the state child welfare director, state court system representatives, state child welfare program specialist, major tribal representatives, local child welfare agency administrator, juvenile court judge, foster parent (s), law enforcement representative, local adm
