Feb. 2003 June 2004 Consultation and Support, Nancy Bruce and
Education and Research
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
All placement caseworkers will be trained on the revised
Supervisory Review form and standards requiring
documentation of efforts to place siblings together.
By June 2004, 90% of sibling group cases will document
efforts to place siblings together.
2 nd Quarter Report: Achieved. The requirements for exhaustive efforts to place sibling groups together are being emphasized in
CPRS training sessions currently being held for staff statewide. The Case Plan has been amended to include efforts to place siblings
together. The statewide CPRS training is completed.
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: What can the State give us to show this has been achieved? Georgia's Reply:
Georgia's Reply: The state respectfully requests to change the 2 nd Quarter Report from 'Achieved' to reflect 'Partially Achieved'. This
request is being made because, while all caseworkers were trained to document efforts to place siblings together on the CPRS, the
actual Supervisory Review form (stipulated under the Measurable Benchmarks) is still in process of revision.
3 rd Quarter Report: Efforts to revise the Supervisory Review Form continue, as indicated above under Goal # 2, Step # 1.
DOCUMENTATION:
Please see CPRS Screen printout, Permanency 2, Item 12, which confirms that efforts to place siblings together are properly
documented in case files. Also, see attachments, CPRS v2, Trained by County & Region -- Detail and CPRS v2, Trained by Training
