Meeting Description:


A major development in tribal child welfare policy was announced on February 25, 2015. The Bureau of Indian Affairs announced that it had issued—effective immediately—revisions to the Guidelines for State Courts and Agencies in Indian Child Custody Proceedings for the first time since 1979. NICWA is hosting a free webinar to explain the revisions.The new guidelines are intended to address some of the issues that states and public and private agencies have grappled with for the past 36 years.

ICWA advocates, tribal and state child welfare workers, tribal and state attorneys, parents’ attorneys, and judges are strongly encouraged to attend the NICWA webinar. It will discuss guideline changes and provide a more in-depth analysis of our potential to use these revised guidelines to support Indian children and families. Please join us!
