documentation requirements were among the topics covered in the training.
2 nd Quarter Federal Response: Are you saying all the action steps have been fully achieved? Or partially achieved? What can the
State give us to show this has been achieved?
3 rd Quarter Report: Georgia's Reply: Yes. The FPBP training was provided to 2,900 staff and private providers 17 times between
July 2002 and February 2003. The importance of parent and child visitation was emphasized in each of the training sessions.
C&S consultants are mentoring case managers, with less than 12 months of experience to shape their knowledge of the Georgia child
welfare system. Emphasis is placed on parent and child visitation during their consultation and training sessions.
DOCUMENTATION:
Please see attached CPRS Screen printout, Permanency 2, Item 13, which confirms that parent child visitation is properly documented
in the Case Plan. Also, see attachments, CPRS v2, Trained by County & Region -- Detail and CPRS v2, Trained by Training date --
Detail which show that staff from all 159 Georgia counties have been trained to include parent and child visitation arrangements in the
case plan in addition to the FPBP training.
5 th Quarter Report: Partially Achieved. Even though statewide training of all staff was completed, Georgia recognizes its need to
have more time to accurately measure the performance outcomes of staff implementing this requirement, by documenting the required
information on visitations in the case records.
5 th Quarter DOCUMENTATION:
PIP Results 02/18/2004 -- Visiting with Parents and Children in Foster Care Report.
