Safe Futures A Plan for Program Improvement - Department of ...

1 st Quarter Report: See Step 1 above
2 nd Quarter Report: No report due this quarter.
3 rd Quarter Report: Training on the Case Plan and Reporting System (CPRS) has been conducted for staff in all Georgia's 159
counties. It captures documentation of visits between parents and children. Efforts are in progress to improve the system so that the
choice of visitation sites will also be captured. Georgia's Promoting Safe and Stable Families Program (PSSF) currently supports
several projects that provide visitation services. Please see attached (Promoting Safe and Stable Families RFP FFY 2003/2004) for
details about the sites. Please reference the attached CPRS screen illustrating the documentation of visitation.
Concurrent with efforts to revise the Supervisory Review Form (SRF), as indicated above in Step # 1, on-going training activities are
occurring regularly between Consultation and Support (C&S) consultants and local supervisors. C&S consultants are conducting case
reviews to assure policy compliance with required mandates, including visitation, and to improve overall service delivery for families
and children. Once the SRF is completed and approved, statewide training of all supervisors will occur.
4 th Quarter Report: Partially Achieved. Efforts to revise the Supervisory Review Form continue, as indicated above under Goal # 2, Step # 1.
5 th Quarter Report: Achieved. The state has made the decision to discontinue using the Supervisory Review Guide and replaces it
with the Child Placement Services E & R Social Services Review Guide, developed by the Evaluation and Reporting (E & R) office.
This instrument is already developed and available to the staff. Also, it incorporates PIP requirements for Georgia. It encompasses the
same information contained in the previous Supervisory Review Guide, and addresses visitation under Item 26. The E & R Review
Guide is already available to staff and requires no additional training. As new staff are hired and trained, this is incorporated into their
training components as well.
