The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act of 1998 requires states to establish citizen review panels. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services established Community Evaluation Teams to meet the requirement of the legislation and solicited bids from Public Children Services Agencies (PCSAs) to develop Community Evaluation Teams. The Community Evaluation Team Allocation is for the following three Public Children Services Agencies: Lorain, Marion and Scioto. The allocation is for the purpose of operating a Community Evaluation Team (CET) in each county.
Questions concerning Community Evaluation Teams may be directed to Ken Meeks in the Bureau of Family Services; 614-466-9274.
