NACC Webinar: Covid-19 Related Challenges & Barriers to Reunification in Dependency Court
This webinar will review Covid-19 related legal challenges, including challenges to reasonable efforts, due process, and fundamental fairness. Since the beginning of the pandemic, all parties involved with child protective services and dependency courts have had to manage a variety of new challenges. Many services have been unavailable or available only virtually. Court hearings have been held virtually, causing concern as to whether that provides the parents due process in dependency and termination hearings. The use of virtual platforms has also caused challenges with technology for many families involved in the system. There are also concerns with reaching permanency in a timely manner, while also providing additional time for reunification for parents who have not had access to services. Attendees will learn how to navigate these challenges and cases impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
