This course satisfies the caseflow management requirement for Phase I of CEDP and CMP.

Unnecessary delay increases the time it takes to achieve permanent homes for abused and neglected children, however, delay is not inevitable. With these specialized cases, it is important to balance the goal of efficiency with the best interests of the child. The value of timely permanency must be balanced against child safety and well-being.

This course will cover the fundamentals of caseflow management and apply them to child abuse and neglect case processing. In addition, participants will learn the requirements of the Adoption and Safe Families Act, court performance measures and how to interpret them, and how to use the measures to improve their court’s management of cases involving abused and neglected children.

Participants will learn to decrease time to permanency without increasing risk to children or diminishing due process by adopting the fundamental caseflow management principles taught in this course. Participants will also assess the effectiveness of caseflow management in their court’s child abuse and neglect cases.

This course is intended for trial court managers, court clerks, and court staff who must manage caseflow and implement strategies to achieve timely permanency for abused and neglected children.
