Dear [Insert CIP Administrator Name],
I am writing to ask you to take a brief survey about the timing of initial and review court hearings and the use of pre-hearing conferences held prior to initial hearings in your state. The information you provide will help us plan for a future study or studies that will examine the factors associated with judicial decision-making and hearing quality in child welfare cases, and the influence those factors may have on judges’ reasonable efforts decisions and case outcomes.
This survey is part of a larger project by James Bell Associates, the American Bar Association Center on Children and the Law, and Co-Principal Investigators Drs. Alicia Summers and Sophie Gatowski that is funded by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation and the Children’s Bureau. A description of the project can be found here.
Attached is a letter from Scott Trowbridge, Children’s Bureau Child Welfare Program Specialist and federal program officer for the CIPs, offering his support of our project and encouraging your participation in this survey.
We know that you are very busy, especially given the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey should take 10 to 15 minutes to complete. If you are interested, please complete the survey by [INSERT DATE]. Your participation is voluntary. Information will be kept private to the extent permitted by law.
