M-T- h, Child advocate team seeking volunteers for review boards Citizens interested in helping foster children find safe, permanent homes have a chance to join a statewide team of child advocates. During the 1998 Utah Legislature, the foster care citizen review board was mandated to expand the number of panels in operation around the state. Openings are available for qualified members to review foster care cases with the Utah Division of Child and Family Services. The FCCRB seeks to protect children in foster care while encouraging appropriate and timely permanent placements. The state system is recruiting volunteers to serve as board members in southeastern Utah. The position requires a commitment of one day per month for at least a term and the willingness to abide by strict rules of confidentiality. FCCRB will provide the one-ye- required training two-da- y workshop as well as periodic training. Each board has 10 members, five of whom must be parents. Community boards will review service plans and other information provided by DCFS on the children. Members will speak with case workers, supervisors, birth parents, foster parents, guardians ad litem, thera pists and others involved in the childs life. When appropriate, board members will interview the children. The FCCRB seeks citizens who have no vested interests except a concern for the welfare of the child. In order to insure objective and inde pendent evaluation of foster care case work, Board members may not be employed by the Utah Division of Child and Family Services or the juvenile court. In addition, current involvement in other volunteer programs may also be a conflict of interest. Boards are to be representative of the ethnic, cultural, religious, and professional diversity found in the community.
