EXHIBIT A-II<br />

What if I don't get along Talk to the person you don't get along with. Many times<br />

with the foster parent, the you can solve even big problems through honest<br />

group home staff, or my discussion. You should also tell your social worker. If this<br />

social worker? doesn't work, you may want to consider filing a complaint.<br />

Every group home is required to have written complaint<br />

procedures. You cannot be punished for filing a complaint.<br />

The home’s grievance procedures should be posted in a<br />

location accessible to you. If not, ask one <strong>of</strong> the staff what to<br />

do - they are required by law to inform you <strong>of</strong> how to file a<br />

complaint. 43 If you live in a foster home, your foster parents<br />

must give you the address <strong>and</strong> phone number <strong>of</strong> where to file<br />

confidential complaints <strong>and</strong> how to do so. 44 If your complaint<br />

is with your social worker, you should consider talking to or<br />

sending a letter to the worker’s supervisor. If you have an<br />

attorney, you should also talk to him or her.<br />
