Dispositions in A/N/D Court: Structuring Court Ordered Plans
This course focuses on dispositional orders that are entered in an abuse, neglect, or dependency action for respondent parents. The objectives are for judges to understand the respondents’ experiences in meeting expectations and learn how to enter orders that are designed to allow a parent to succeed so that reunification is more likely to be achieved. In addition to online instruction, this week-long course requires judges to complete assigned exercises in their home jurisdiction while still expected to work their court calendar outside of online class time. From Monday afternoon through Thursday, attendees will be asked to complete a simulated experience in working a dispositional case plan. There will be large and small group discussion so experiences and expertise may be shared. Because of the high level of interaction required for this course, attendance is limited to 24.
This course is required for advanced child welfare certification.
