BARRIERS TO ACHIEVEMENT:<br />
C7 ACTION STEPS: Georgia will provide technical assistance (TA) to DFCS staff and private providers as to how to use FP/BP<br />
assessment in<strong>for</strong>mation to make the most appropriate permanency decisions and implementation <strong>of</strong> wraparound<br />
services at the beginning <strong>of</strong> the child's stay in care. The FP/BP in<strong>for</strong>mation will be used to develop more<br />
effective case plans <strong>for</strong> the child and family.<br />
Incorporate FP/BP Summary and Recommendation Reports in the CPRS. The inclusion <strong>of</strong> the FP/BP<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation in the CPRS will assist staff in developing case plans <strong>for</strong> children and their families. A pilot <strong>of</strong> the<br />
CPRS is underway in Dekalb DFCS and Juvenile Court to assure that the FP/BP Summary Reports meet the<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> families, judges and DFCS staff. For the phase two CPRS development, we will expand to include<br />
FP/BP data collection. Generally, plans are to include the ability to collect the recommendations from the<br />
FP/BP comprehensive assessment. It will also collect data about the services actually provided to the child.<br />
Because <strong>of</strong> a mandate on Public Health to assure that our Foster Children have all the services available, we<br />
will add a section to the CPRS to track the child's Health Check Schedule and assure that any required treatment<br />
or follow up is provided.<br />
