Regional Citizen Foster Care Review Boards are hosting public forums to discuss improving outcomes for Kentucky children and families involved in the state foster care system.

Chairman of the state CFCRB Ed Staats said some anticipated topics involve getting children into permanent homes as soon as possible and ensuring their safety while in care. Staats said this is the first time the boards will hear directly from communities.

 

Findings will be reported to the state board and included in the board’s annual recommendations to the Supreme Court, governor and legislature. One regional forum is Friday in Madisonville. The forum will take place from 1:30-3 p.m. CT at Baptist Health Building I, 8th floor, at 200 Clinic Drive.
