February 2009Vol. 10, No. 1New Resources on Citizens Review Panels Website
The University of Kentucky (UK) College of Social Work maintains the National Citizens Review Panels website, which contains resources from each State's Citizens Review Panel (CRP), including annual reports, training materials, and other useful information. CRPs consist of citizen volunteers who conduct federally mandated evaluations of each State's child protective services agency.
New to the website is the National Citizens Review Panel Directory, which provides a brief description of and contact information for each State's CRP. The presentation, Overview of Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act Citizen Review Panels, also is available for users to download. Finally, visitors to the website may view the results from two UK College of Social Work surveys of CRP members and program coordinators.
