Policy and Programs for Children and Families

Paper details:

– Both The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)

http://www.nicwa.org/Indian_Child_Welfare_Act/

and The Multi-Ethnic Placement Act (MEPA)

– These Policies were passed to address civil rights issues that influence out-of-home placement of children. Yet, they prescribe very different criteria to consider when deciding on appropriate out-of-home placements for children.

– How do you account for these differences?
