Nominations For Foster Parents Needed!
CA FOSTER PARENT CONSULTATION TEAM (CAFPT)
2012 Nomination Form
The Mission of the CAFPT ( also known as the 1624 Team) is “to improve
the well being and protection of all children in foster and relative care, and
to enhance and strengthen services for children and caregivers in the state of
Washington.”
The CAFPT was created in 2007
under Engrossed Substitute House Bill (ESHB) 1624 and directs CA to “Consult
at least quarterly with foster parents, including members of the foster parent
association of Washington state, for the purpose of receiving information and
comment regarding how the department is performing the duties and meeting the
obligations specified in this section and RCW 74.13.250 and 74.13.320
regarding the recruitment of foster homes, reducing foster parent
turnover rates, providing effective training for foster parents, and
administering a coordinated and comprehensive plan that strengthens services
for the protection of children. Consultation shall occur at the regional and
statewide levels.”
Elections occur each year in the regions. CAFPT regional representatives
are volunteers who are elected for two year terms on a staggered basis. You may nominate yourself or another licensed
foster parent from your area who is interested in helping shape our service
delivery for children in foster care and their caregivers here in
Washington.
