Have you heard the term "Reasonable Efforts" in a dependency/neglect proceeding yet? Have you ever wondered what that actually means? In this episode, we interview Family Court Judge Peter B. Jones along with child attorney Alaina Chamberlain and DFS attorney Michelle Skoranksi. Our three panels describe Reasonable Efforts and how they pertain to child welfare, specifically what findings need to be judicially made, how they affect children, and the impact in reunification services offered by the Division of Family Services. This episode applies to nearly every CASA Volunteer with a dependency/neglect case so hopefully you'll listen and learn something that you can apply to your case. Enjoy!
