CASA / GAL Study
 
Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 2151.282, it is my honor to present the Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem Study Committee’s report. Copies of the full report were delivered to Governor Ted Strickland, Speaker of the House Jon Husted, President of the Senate Bill Harris and are available here.

The report includes information requested in the statute: data with regard to the provision of guardian ad litem services to Ohio’s abused and neglected children in the court system, and analysis of the cost and services provided by guardians ad litem.

Thank you for the opportunity to share our findings. We are confident the report will provide a foundation for further discussion on the improvement of guardian ad litem services.

Together we can make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.

Truly,
Jackie Wilson, Chairwoman
