National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges selects 15th Circuit to participate in Implementation Sites Project
The 15th Circuits’ Juvenile Division has been selected to participate in the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges’ (NCJFCJ) Implementation Sites Project.
The NCJFCJ’s Implementation Sites Project, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, provides child abuse and neglect courts with training, technical assistance, and tailored support from a site manager to improve the handling of dependency cases and improve the lives of families and children.
The project, which spans over a two-year period, will begin September 15. Each site selected will use a judicially led collaborative stakeholder team to assess current practices, identify goals, and implement change to improve their court practices and the delivery of services to families and children.
