The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to determine the extent of interest from private organizations/agencies and/or public institutions of higher education in providing Child Abuse Medical Services, as described in this RFI.
Social Services Agency (SSA) Children and Family Services Division provides Child Abuse Medical Services with a multi-disciplinary approach to address alleged cases of child abuse and offer forensic and medical examinations, consultations and expert witness testimony on child abuse and neglect cases. Services are extended to children birth through 17 years old as well as for adults who have developmental delays or disabilities and cannot be served adequately by adult programs. Service elements within child abuse medical services also include medical consultation, physician oversight, assessments and diagnoses by a board-certified child abuse pediatrician, court testimony for prosecuted cases, and education and training on the risks and signs of child abuse and neglect for healthcare providers, community providers, mandated reporters and the public.
As mandated by the State, Child Abuse Medical Services supports the Child Abuse Services Team (CAST), which establishes multi-disciplinary teams to facilitate the sharing of relevant information for the effective delivery of child protective services. CAST collaborates with social services, law enforcement, deputy district attorneys, medical providers and therapists to address child abuse and neglect cases. Medical evaluations conducted within CAST focus on supporting evaluations of child sexual abuse when the child is in a stable medical condition.
To address these service delivery needs, the County is seeking Providers who possess the necessary training and experience working with children, medical staff and community stakeholders as identified in Attachment A, as well as the public.
See Attachment A for Scope of Work.
