When a child enters the foster care system, a parent is often frustrated and confused by the process. Court proceedings can seem labryintine to a parent and they may not encourage their active engagement. Many teams have addressed this issue by making court processes more engaging and conducive to parents, whether by implementing Pre-Hearing Conferences or creating a first hearing guide.
The Through the Eyes of the Child Initiative has also produced materials to help parents understand the court system.
