Caring for Runaway Foster Children
Welcome! I am working to put together a report about runaway foster children and policies concerning them. The report deals with national policies but focuses on Virginia State policies. I have also surveyed Va DSS agencies and will be including a survey of their current practices in the report. The final report will also include suggestions for improvements/additions to current policies and I hope that it is utilized in upcoming change. Once the report is done I hope to link it here.
