Please attend this workshop to learn more about the integration of Review; Evaluate; Direct (RED) teams into your practice. RED teams provide a platform for an internal group decision-making process that expands the ability of the organization to engage in advanced critical thinking to match an accepted report of child maltreatment with a selected child protective service response. RED teams involve the intake social worker; supervisor; other staff and community partners in the process of determining the appropriate level and time frame of a response to reports of child abuse and neglect. CDSS has issued a draft All County Letter *due to be finalized spring 2018* recommending the use of RED teams as a child welfare best practice.

The committee provides feedback on state initiatives; suggests parent involvement strategies and reviews curricula to ensure parents’ voices are included. We are honored to be called upon at policy-level decision points to provide feedback. The committee is also a place to share ideas and receive support from peers.
