Credentialing Texas Child Welfare Supervisors
Texas Center for Child and Family Services (The Center) and the National Certification Board for Child Welfare Professionals (NCBCWP) have partnered to provide a credentialing program for child welfare supervisors. Our Community Our Kids and 2INgage were the first to mandate the child welfare supervisor credential for their employees. Belong and St. Francis joined the effort through a joint plan to stabilize Texas workforce and support the effective use of available capacity.
Child welfare supervisors typically manage caseworkers who work directly with children and families involved in the Child Protective Services (CPS) system. They help manage foster care, adoption, residential treatment, shelters, and other types of care for youth who are victims of alleged abuse or neglect.
The newly credentialed supervisors can maintain their certification through 20 hours of continued education each year.
Get all the details about the certification on the NCBCWP website.
