In partnership with the Center for the Development of Human Services and other child welfare stakeholders such as foster parents, OCFS recently designed and distributed a Foster Parent Training and Assessment Survey. This survey and its results are linked below. Due to its size, it has been divided into sections.
The Foster Parent Training and Assessment Survey was designed to identify the unmet training and services needs of New York's foster parents. Both current and former foster parents, as well as foster care workers, were invited to complete the survey. The findings are currently being analyzed and they will help OCFS, local social service districts and voluntary agencies learn about barriers to the provision of training and services to foster parents. Recommendations for legislative, regulatory and procedural change based on the survey results are currently being considered.
