In this is the episode of the Family Care Learning Podcast, we hear from Anika Robinson who is the president of ASA Now and she is a major advocate for foster children and families. Anika has also helped create Jacob's Law in Arizona which was signed in March 2016.
What is Jacob’s Law? Jacob's Law provides required timelines to access behavioral and urgent health services, makes it possible for caregivers to secure services when service request timelines have expired, requires a placement packet, provides protections for caregivers, protects caregivers against allegations or charges from the Department of Child Safety (DCS) due to their children's mental illness, provides Out-of-Home request timelines, requires DCS to contact last placement if a previous foster child comes back into care, required an designated point of contact to coordinate crisis services for a child, when crisis is not being responsive, makes it possible to secure out of county services, protects caregivers wishing to disrupt a current placement and requires AHCCCS to track and report annually when law is not followed, complete a network adequacy study, adopt corrective action plans, sanctions or other measures to address noncompliance.
