As the lead agency responsible for managing the child protection system in Broward County, our focus is to ensure that the children in our care are safe and permanently placed in a loving home. Case workers, whom we call Child Advocates, provide case management to ensure appropriate and timely services are available to children and families involved in the dependency system. Child Advocates develop case plans, prepare judicial reviews, conduct home studies, attend court hearings and make suggestions based on the best interest of the child. The primary goal of the case plan is to ensure the child's safety and assist in the stabilization of a permanent, loving home. To accomplish this goal, ChildNet works closely with local social service agencies and network providers to connect Broward's most vulnerable children and their families to a variety of services in our community. They include behavioral health services, educational assistance, parenting, skills training, anger management counseling and a variety of other therapeutic interventions.
