SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Social Services is requesting the addition of one (1) Administrative Services Assistant position to implement a new quality assurance process of case reviews in Child Welfare Services. This is new federal guidance to states and counties to expand best practice and implement continuous quality improvement systems. The California Department of Social Services has provided additional funding to the Department to address these new requirements.
In addition, DSS is requesting the reallocation of one (1) Office Assistant II to one (1) Social Services Aide II position to address unmet needs associated with transportation, translation and parent-child supervised visitation for children and families in the child welfare system.
These changes have no impact to the County General Fund Contributions.
