Foster Care Review Boards

Foster Care Review Boards are groups of volunteers or professionals who evaluate the care and circumstances of children in foster care. Their main role is to ensure that these children are safe, receiving appropriate services, and that their needs are being met. They hold regular meetings to review each child's case, often involving social workers, caregivers, and sometimes the children themselves. The boards make recommendations to improve the child's situation, aiming for stability and a permanent home, whether that's reunification with family or adoption. Their work helps support the welfare of vulnerable children in the foster care system.
