JBS International, Inc.'s Child Welfare Reviews Project oversees a diverse national pool of reviewers who participate in the Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSRs) conducted by the Children's Bureau. JBS recruits reviewers by taking referrals from state and federal staff; contract staff; and current CFSR reviewers, quality assurance specialists, and note-taking specialists (collectively referred to as “agile staff”). It also conducts outreach with Regional Offices and national organizations.
Upon receipt of applications, the Child Welfare Reviews Project reviews and maintains information on candidates’ qualifications and identifies candidates to participate in CFSR reviewer trainings. Once trained, these individuals become eligible to participate as CFSR reviewers. Preference is given to individuals who are experienced in applying the Onsite Review Instrument and Instructions, who demonstrate fluency in Spanish, and/or have lived experience within the child welfare system or within indigenous or tribal social services.
The Child Welfare Reviews Project conducts CFSR reviewer trainings periodically. Qualified candidates are required to attend an in-person 2-day training and complete online training and other ongoing trainings as needed.
