Attend and participate in the Foster Care Review Board (FCRB) proceedings.

The FCRB randomly selects foster care cases for review to ensure that the case plan is adequate and appropriate for the child. If your foster child's case has not been selected for review and you have concerns about the current case plan, you may contact the FCRB and specifically request that they review the case. For more details about the FCRB, their functions, and the process for requesting a case be reviewed, click on the link below.
