Mission Statement
The mission of the National Foster Care Review Coalition is to serve as a national coalition of independent foster care review programs to ensure, through individual case review and advocacy for systemic change, the safety, well-being and timely achievement of permanency for children in foster care by:

• Informing and influencing individual state and national policy makers, as well as the public;

• Promoting the establishment of an independent review system in each state to assess the status of these children; and

• Supporting the work of active independent review systems

Strategies to Achieve Our Mission

Providing a mechanism to gather and distribute data from independent review systems in order to impact systemic reform

• Identifying those areas in the Federal Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) process where   independent foster care review programs may assist their state's assessment and systemic improvement efforts

Collaborating with groups, programs and organizations who have similar goals in order to effect positive system change.

Why the Coalition's Work Matters

Foster Care Review helps individual children, families, and the systems that are designed to help abused and neglected children. This is done by individual case recommendations to the judge, caseworkers, their supervisors, and others involved in the case. Data is collected to track trends and to make relevant systemic recommendations to state legislatures and child welfare agencies.
