37 <br /> WELFARE REFORM AND HUMAN SERVICES TASK FORCE <br /> CHILD AND FAMILY WORK GROUP <br /> The Child and Family Work Group has developed its vision of an adequate safety net of <br /> services for children and families,and the community. Our vision includes the following areas: <br /> • EFFECTIVE SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM <br /> • EDUCATION, CHILD CARE, AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT <br /> • EMPLOYMENT <br /> • NURTURING FAMILIES & COMMUNITIES <br /> •BASIC PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CARE <br /> • SAFETY <br /> • TRANSPORTATION <br /> We see these areas as interconnected, with one area interdependent on another to provide a <br /> comprehensive service system. <br /> In each area, we have identified key principles and components. We also provide a set of core <br /> services for each area. These are not in priority or rank order. Rather, all of these services are <br /> critically important for the community and its children and families. <br /> Committee members included; <br /> Michele Rivest, Orange County Partnership for Young Children <br /> John Birkholz,Chapel Hill Human Services <br /> Paul Castelloe, UNC School of Social Work <br /> Judy Jacobs,Community Police,Hillsborough Police Department, <br /> Barbara Levine, Board of Directors, Child Care Networks <br /> Shirley Marshall,Friends of DSS <br /> Winnie Morgan,Consultant <br /> Ursala Murdaugh, Piedmont Health Services <br /> Amy Rabb, Child Care Networks <br /> Dan Reimer,Orange County Health Department <br /> Janice Schopler, UNC School of Social Work <br /> Karen Wallace, Orange County Communities in Schools <br /> Donna Williams, Orange County Schools <br />
