California Blue Ribbon Commission on Children in Foster Care

Commission Outcomes

The commission seeks to achieve the following outcomes as a result of its work:

• A comprehensive set of politically viable recommendations for how courts and their partners can improve child welfare outcomes, including an implementation plan with key milestones;
• Improved court performance and accountability between courts and child welfare agencies and others, including the institutionalization of county commissions that will support ongoing efforts; and
• Increased awareness of the role of the courts in the foster-care system and the need for adequate and flexible funding.
