Adequate Legal Representation |
Casey Family Services promotes adequate legal representation for children and families during their engagement with child welfare systems. Quality legal representation in cases involving the safety and well-being of children and the integrity of the family can have lifelong repercussions.
Quality legal representation also can help ensure that children engaged with child welfare systems get the help they need, that families get the support necessary to avert foster care placements, and that children who must be removed from their families can achieve permanence as quickly as possible.
With a focus on child protective and court systems, Casey Family Services promotes promising-practice models of legal representation employed in states across the nation to enhance current systems.
