1. 2.
Why Falsify?Slide29
Even though the recruiter knows the child doesn’t qualify for the MEP, the child really needs extra help.The recruiter does not believe that the government makes the best use of its funds; the recruiter believes it is better to spend this money helping needy children, regardless of their eligibility for the MEP.
Why Falsify?Slide30
The recruiter, by having the authority to decide which families are eligible and which are not, gains status or importance in the migrant community.
The recruiter feels that identifying more eligible migrant children makes his or her job more secure.
Why Falsify?Slide31
If a recruiter falsifies a COE to make an ineligible child or youth appear eligible, the consequences can be dire for the state, local MEP and the recruiter.
What consequences may occur if a COE is falsified and the child appears eligible?
Falsifying InformationSlide32
If you feel pressured by a supervisor or colleague to enroll a child who does not appear to be eligible?Make it clear that you are not comfortable with what is being asked.Write down what happened with as much detail as possible.
Report what happened to the appropriate person.
What Should You Do …Slide33
It is everyone’s job to preserve the integrity of the MEP and to maintain public confidence in the program’s efforts to find and serve eligible migrant children.Mistakes are not crimes, so the honest recruiter does not have to worry.
Final ThoughtsSlide34
