The California Dependency Online Guide provides assistance to attorneys, judicial officers, and other professionals working in California’s child welfare system. It is a project of the California Administrative Office of the Courts, Center for Families, Children & the Courts.
Information provided on the site includes California child welfare law, conferences and trainings, service providers, and publications. It also provides news about the state’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Children in Foster Care and local foster care committees in most of California’s 58 counties. These county committees have begun preliminary work to implement reforms put forth by the state’s Blue Ribbon Commission.
"One of our lynchpin recommendations is the formation of these local foster care commissions … to help with local implementation of reforms and ensure that they are tailored to county needs," said California Supreme Court Associate Justice Carlos R. Moreno, chair of the California Blue Ribbon Commission and himself a foster parent.
