AS a volunteer,
I can generate a court report that auto-fills with select details,
SO that I can fill out remaining details after downloading and submit it to my supervisor.

This section should provide information that leads to your recommendations, but be based on the objective information included in the section above.
Describe how the child is doing. Include a statement about the CASA’s role in the child’s life. Describe the relationship the CASA and the child currently have.
What are the current concerns for the child? Is there a need that is not being met?

One paragraph should be dedicated to each concern.
What is your recommendation on a service or a plan to meet this need?
Restate the permanency plan.
Is this the most appropriate plan at this time? Describe why or why not.
If there is another plan that may be better, offer a recommendation for that plan and describe why and how to achieve this plan.
