Foster Parent Implementation Plan

Foster Parents are entrusted with the health, safety, and welfare of abused and neglected children. With this important trust comes certain rights, responsibilities and opportunities to be represented and to participate in representing foster families and children. Caritas Family Solutions has an Implementation Plan for The Foster Parent Law which is evaluated under the authority of the Statewide Foster Care Advisory Council every November.

View this training module to learn more about the Foster Parent Law and how it is implemented at Caritas Family Solutions. Once you have reviewed the presentation, please take this short quiz. Licensed Caritas Foster Parents can receive 2 hours of training credits for successful completion of the quiz.

If you as foster parents have questions, comments, concerns, and/or suggestions about what is written in the Implementation Plan, we ask and encourage you to contact us. Your input regarding this plan is important and will be considered when updating the plan each year.
