Thank you for your interest in Connecticut’s Citizen Review Panels. These Citizen Review Panels (CRP) were formed as a result of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), as amended by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003. Each Panel is mandated to evaluate the policies and practices of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families (DCF) and to make recommendations for the improvement of child protective services. As a result of the recommendations, the Department is required to review and respond to the CRP’s report in writing. We appreciate the commissioner’s kindly and thoughtful response. In addition to the presentation of the panel’s annual reports listed below, DCF’s responses are publicly available documents and we encourage all of them to be shared with anyone interested in our work.
