Recommendations ==>
Workforce development is critical in
improving the level of service provided to
our children and families. We must
develop, recruit, retain and raise the rate
of compensation and then tie salary
increases to on-the-job performance to
maintain a quality workforce.
Require mandatory training and
on-going consultation on traumabased
and trauma informed care
for professionals responsible for
meeting the specific needs of
abused and neglected children to
include all child welfare staff,
judges, courts, district attorneys,
providers, court attorneys, school
personnel, CASA, foster parents,
tribal social workers, law
enforcement, PARB, child’s
attorney, shelter staff, etc.
Increase the clinical consultant’s
model by adding 12 consultants
statewide.
