Guidelines for Managing Information Related to the Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity and Expression of Children in Child Welfare Systems
|
|
Wilber, S. |
This publication will begin to bridge the gap by proposing standards governing the management of information related to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.
This publication was developed in conjunction with the Putting Pride into Practice Project (“P4”), a three-year effort undertaken by Family Builders by Adoption, in partnership with the California Department of Social Services, to implement CWLA’s Best Practice Guidelines for Serving LGBT Youth in Out of Home Care in several county child welfare systems in California. P4’s objective is to increase the competence of child welfare professionals to serve children whose actual or perceived sexual orientation is other than heterosexual, and children whose gender identity or expression is incongruent with their biological sex or with cultural expectations related to gender presentation. The project provides training and technical assistance to build agency capacity and improve organizational competency through leadership and policy development, community and constituency engagement, and recruitment, training and support of placement resources. |
