 Children's
Administration Review of Issues Raised by Stevens County Prosecutor
Regarding Colville Division of Children & Family Services Office
In June 2008, concerns expressed by a state
legislator and the Stevens County, Washington, prosecutor prompted the
Washington Department of Social and Health Services to review child
welfare practice in Colville, Washington. The review team consisted of
three Children's Administration staff members. The review team contacted
and interviewed care providers, community services providers, and court
officials. They also conducted a review of the cases cited by the Stevens
County prosecutor and made two site visits to Colville DCFS in March and
April 2009. The Children's Administration review team solicited
strategies to resolve the perceived problems from each group of
stakeholders interviewed.
