Team disregarding parent’s wishes
I’ve been on a case for a while and have fostered a solid relationship with both the family and the caregiving staff in the community, but my team keeps bungling the delivery of services. They’ve put ethically dubious techs (who have since been fired or relocated) onto the client’s case and the parents and caregiving staff observed them not doing their job, not redirecting elopement behaviors, tripping the client in the name of ‘safety’ without antecedent interventions, which caused the client to crack their head on pavement in one instance. I’m the only one cleared to work on the case atm due to this bungling but my team is trying to strong arm other techs in or work me to death to meet the high level of hours required for the individual. I don’t like the way they’re handling it and advocate for the parents/client as often as I can, but I’m just small fries here.
I don’t want to add too many details but the client is young and we work well together. I do believe generalization will be good for them in the long run, but we can barely get DTT done in any meaningful capacity due to the level of maladaptive behaviors. I can get a lot of good data through NET with them, and the other techs weren’t really even doing that. Am I just supposed to sit back and watch my company lose a client? I know I can’t control what they do, but it’s awful to be forced to watch them lie to the parents and go behind their backs to insert techs when I can’t make it to session. This feels like it’s crossing an ethical line.
