Advocacy Services Project. Annual Report: Innovations in Protective Services.
Dennis-Small, Lucretia
Described in this process evaluation are the first-year efforts to provide a specialized staff within the Bexar County District Attorney's Office, San Antonio, Texas, to perform advocacy functions for abused and neglected children involved in cases going through the criminal justice system. The report discusses how well the staff met the three objectives of the project: (1) to provide supportive services to alleged victims of child abuse and their families; (2) to develop a system of communication among the Texas Department of Human Services, law enforcement agencies, and the district attorney's office; and (3) to develop a system for tracking civil and criminal cases throughout the judicial process. It is concluded that, after several months of operation, the Advocacy Services Project began to operate in the manner originally intended. The project received funding to continue operation for an additional year. Appendices provide tracking and advocate response forms and a flow chart showing referral procedures. (RH)
