attorneys to do their jobs well. The agency attorney manager should be <br />responsible for developing a system for training the agency staff as well as <br />protocols to improve the working relationships between the agency and agency <br />attorneys. <br />11. Work actively with external entities to improve the child welfare system <br />Action: The agency attorney manager should act as a liason between the agency <br />and outside entities involved in the child welfare system. For example, the agency <br />attorney manager should meet regularly with the court and the state Court <br />Improvement Program to improve issues concerning court administration. The <br />agency attorney manager (or designee) should sit on all multidisciplinary <br />committees charged with improving court functions or other aspects of the <br />system. The agency attorney manager should be in regular contact with agencies, <br />such as local hospitals or schools, that employ people who are frequently called as <br />witnesses and who do work with the same population of children. Doing so can <br />build strong relationships and improve the care the children receive from all of the <br />involved agencies. The agency attorney manager should reach out to agencies <br />such as law enforcement and treatment facilities that have information or <br />documents often needed for litigation. <br />Commentary: The agency attorney manager should be visible in the community <br />and provide a positive face for people to associate with the agency and agency <br />attorney's office. The agency attorney manager should understand the many <br />issues the agency faces and help resolve some of these through work with the <br />court and other involved entities. <br />As mentioned above, the standards were drafted with the help of a committee. Many <br />thanks to all of them for their time, expertise, and assistance in making these standards <br />useful and practice focused.
