Office of Respondent Parents’ Counsel: Evaluation of the Interdisciplinary Representation Model

Project Summary

To continuously strengthen their work to protect the fundamental right to parent, the Office of Respondent Parents’ Counsel (ORPC) partnered with the Colorado Evaluation and Action Lab (Colorado Lab) to build evidence for the interdisciplinary team model of parent representation. Together, the ORPC and the Colorado Lab are moving the model through the Steps to Building Evidence. As part of the evidence-building strategy, the project team will focus on a preliminary exploration of outcomes of the interdisciplinary team model using LINC, including who receives interdisciplinary team representation and understanding the value of interdisciplinary team representation for case outcomes around keeping kids safely at home. This work aligns with federal and state priorities and illustrates the value of the interdisciplinary model from a system and legislative perspective.
