Analysis of Methods
This article presents various findings from an extensive investigation that compares the
impacts of helping relationships of identifying front-line child protection service providers in
dominant and accessible service delivery sites (Cameron et al 2012). The findings showed that
accessible sites wanted to expand service partnerships with local service organizations and
community associations. The study also showed that more satisfactory service delivery
experiences might minimize income in front-line child protection jobs. Basically, data analysis
and data collection in this study was effectively done because it comprised data from diverse
schools, neighborhoods and child protection service delivery sites. However, this study only
focused on a limited number of child welfare settings in Ontario and moderately small size of the
available programs. The study also did not strongly rule against explanations for the identified
differences other than the accessible service delivery approaches. In this case, the study did not
provide adequate information to validate their conclusion, and thus the information cannot be
relied so much.
Ethical Issues
A study cannot deliver proper results unless proper ethical standards have been upheld.
Ethical issues implies a study that upholds the moral obligation of acting in a way that is in
agreement with professional values. One of the possible ethical issues that might have arisen in
the process of conducting this research is telling the potential study participants about all features
of the study that might practically influence their decision to provide necessary information
(McLaughlin, 2012). Every party involved in a study must know the need for participating,
consequences of the study and must agree to participate in the study. Probable study subjects
should be provided with sufficient information about the study to determine any likely risks as
ARTICLE ANALYSIS
well as benefits. Social work study should never hurt the people being studied, irrespective of
whether they volunteer for the study. Additionally, the study should maintain confidentiality and
privacy by not sharing the information without the consent of the participant. In this particular
study, the researchers ethical decisions were all justified because the participants were willing to
participate, and hence they were not forced to provide the required information.
Social Work Implications
The research presented in this particular article reveals a compelling relationship between
the extent of childhood privilege and impacts of accessible service delivery on front-line helping
relationships in child welfare. In many settings, as the research indicates, parents and children
are usually resistant and fearful to involvement with child protection agencies (Cameron et al
2012). Service suppliers are greatly controlled by competing burdens on their time. This means
that social work responses to adverse childhood privileges may contribute to advancement in
overall health. This article sets forth the concentration to improve the insight of child welfare
services in the communities served and to minimize the fear and stigma of service involvement.
The concept illustrated is intrinsically associated to the social work perspective in
comprehending and evaluating protective health factors, and implementing positive health
outcomes (Rubin and Babbie, 2011).
Lesson Learned
One of the major lessons learnt from this article is that cooperative relationships with
children can lead to meaningful families. The study suggest that we do not have to compromise
the safety of children. Creating more constructive helping relationships is vital to improving
outcomes in child welfare. In fact, it is possible that placing child protection workers in schools

would be upsetting for children or parents. Accessible service providers have the ability to keep
children safer because they have better information about how they are doing (Cameron et al
2012). Even though there are existing child protection system restrictions, it is feasible to
increase the proportion of child welfare helping relationships.
