Committee approves work groups to study technology, workforce and family supports

The Child Services Oversight Committee voted to create five work groups that will dig into discrete policy areas and return recommendations to the larger committee. Mark Fairchild, a committee member, said the groups are intended to be "less prescriptive and more about who are the right people and the right voices to really dig into the issues" and listed work group topics including modernizing child welfare technology and supporting Indiana’s child-welfare workforce.
