The Texas Department of Family Protective Services seeks applications for the new Partners for Children and Families Committee

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) is accepting applications for the Partners for Children and Families Committee (PCFC). PCFC is a steering committee that advises DFPS on innovative practices that affect the Texas child protection system. PCFC also advises DFPS on the evolution of the child protection system to its model of Community-Based Care and on the impact on the child protection system at large.

This new advisory committee structure consolidates existing advisory committees (such as the Public Private Partnership and the Committee on Advancing Residential Practices) under a core committee and subject-specific subcommittee structure.
