    My beliefs surrounding parents who are engaged in the child welfare system have been shaped and changed by my socialisation process and will significantly impact the way I interact with this group in the future. To fully understand what that impact may be I will identify and reflect on my beliefs by exploring my upbringing, consider commentary provided by those close to me and reflect upon these beliefs. I will also identify challenges I may come across in the future and recognise further skills or knowledge that would be beneficial to acquire. As a part of my socialisation process the values and beliefs held by family members and people in my community have strongly influenced me and my personal beliefs. When I was younger, when the topic of child abuse was brought up I would often hear comments such as ‘how could someone do that to their own child’ from family members.…
