Caregivers are the people who know the children better than anyone in the system.

State law similarly provides that caregivers may submit their concerns to courts in writing. On October 26, 2021 the California Department of Social Services published an All County Information Notice in order to \"remind county child welfare service agencies...of the requirement to provide the caregiver with a hearing notice and a Caregiver Information Form (JV-290 form) and JV-290 Instruction Sheet for Caregiver Information Form (JV-290 INFO) that the caregiver may complete and submit to the juvenile court.\"\u00a0 See All County Information Notice No. I-87-21<\/a>a<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
