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

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
a date change to October
2003 to complete work
activity on the survey
discussed in the 3rd
Quarter Report.
3rd Quarter Federal
Response: We anticipate
to measure your progress
in this area by the end of
4th Qtr.
4th Quarter Report: It is
anticipated that Georgia
will be requesting to
renegotiate this item.
5th Quarter: Per
Annual
Evaluation/Renegotiation
the State requested to
extend completion date
to July 2004 to allow for
CPRS enhancements.
1 st Quarter Report: Partially achieved. The initial focus of this action step was to conduct a study of the seven pilot FP/BP counties,
a review of the FP/BP Comprehensive Assessment process to assure that the physical health needs of children were addressed in the
assessments and to assure that the placements were appropriate to meet the child's needs. However, further and careful review of this
action step indicates that a completed SACWIS supported by random case record reviews is necessary in order to monitor the
benchmark. In the absence of the SACWIS system at this time, the four foster care consultants will randomly select cases to review
this benchmark with county supervisors in their assigned areas to monitor benchmarks. Consultants are providing ongoing support,
training, and technical assistance at the request of the County Director, Field Director, Supervisor, and Placement and Resource
Development Staff.
