SCOPE OF WORK

1. INTENT

ACTION for Child Protection, Inc. (hereafter referred to as CONSULTANT) shall provide the services required to complete project tasks, assignments, level of effort, and support necessary to fully address remaining implementation requirements and sustainability components as delineated by the Dynamic Sustainability Framework (DSF): the SIPS intervention model; the Clark DFS practice setting; and the community child welfare services system for CLARK

COUNTY, NEVADA, on behalf of the Department of Family Services (DFS) (hereafter referred to as COUNTY). This plan emphasizes proactively increasing and transferring of responsibility and institutionalization of the model primarily through the creation and development of an Implementation Unit, comprised of internal DFS Implementation Team.

CONSULTANT will cross walk each component of implementation to assure compliance with Federal requirements, benchmarks, Title IV-E requirements and NRS 432.B requirements for case plans and court hearings

2. RESPONSIBILITY OF CONSULTANT

CONSULTANT shall provide:

A. Intake Assessment (IA) to ensure high performance, quality decision making in IA, and complete two maintenance processes as follows:

i. Fidelity Reviews

Conduct and/or assist with a formal IA/Nevada Initial Assessment (NIA) review in 2019. Each fidelity review will evaluate up to 400 reports including those that are screened in, those screened out, and those screened to differential response; and

ii. Consultation

Provide continuing consultation to keep performance standards high and to be responsive to findings resulting from fidelity reviews; and

iii. Provide one day per month of consultation to the IA units for twelve (12) months (2018) and one day of consultation every other month for twelve (12) months (2019.)

B. Nevada Initial Assessment (NIA)

There are three areas of NIA implementation at the Installation Stage: policy, timely case transfer, and supervision as a consultation approach. CONSULTANT will conduct the following to assure fidelity:

i. Fidelity Reviews

Conduct a fidelity review early in 2018 specifically for NIA encompassing approximately 400 cases.

A second NIA fidelity review will occur in 2019, and will include the Intake Assessment. The purpose and scope of this review will be the same as described above. The DFS Implementation Team will partner with a reduced number of CONSULTANT staff to complete the review.

ii. Emergency Response Team (ERT)- Fidelity Review

iii. Emergency Response Team (ERT)- General Case Consultation

CONSULTANT will provide ERT staff with general and case consultation averaging one (1) day a Quarter throughout 2018. Beginning in 2019, CONSULTANT will consult upon request with the DFS Implementation

Exhibit A

P:\PU\_WORK\_CBEs\2018\C604814\604814_slt.docxocument A-2

iv. NIA Consultation, Supervision Approach and General Consultation

Consultation will be provided in all geozones (i.e., 21 Supervisory units representing approximately 105 workers). Consultation will occur with units, with Supervisors individually (separate from the NIA Supervisor initiative described below), and with NIA Specialists in tandem with the assigned Supervisor. The content and performance of the consultation will be based upon fidelity review findings; Manager and Supervisor requests, challenging cases needing specific attention, and planned and needed consultation activities that emerge during the contract period.

v. Supervision Approach

Provide support and consultation to NIA supervisors. CONSULTANT will complete the Supervision – NIA Case

Process – Essential Consultative Supervision Points Model in all geozones. The consultation with Supervisors will be directed toward efficient and timely completion of NIAs; sufficient information collection and documentation; and, most importantly, justifiable decision making and safety planning.

During 2018, CONSULTANT will provide consultation to the geozones at a level of eight (8) days per month.

CONSULTANT staff will include the DFS Implementation Team in the consultation activities and process as a part of the DFS Implementation Team certification process. As the DFS Implementation Team is sufficiently prepared and operational, the level of CONSULTANT led consultation will be reduced to four (4) days per month as the DFS Implementation Team assumes greater responsibility.

C. Permanency Services to encompass several areas of involvement to accomplish movement forward in policy, timely case transfer, and Protective Capacity Family Assessment (PCFA) supervision approach:

i. Fidelity Review

With the assistance of the DFS Implementation Team, complete a full fidelity review of Permanency Services in order to establish specific areas of involvement that are needed and required to achieve full Implementation;

ii. Review forty (40) cases per geozone. The review design will include one week of using two ACTION consultants per geozone plus associated analysis time. The DFS Implementation Team will assist and play a prominent role in the review. The issues identified in the review that prevent Specialists from performing with fidelity will be targeted for further implementation activities and consultation;

iii. Fidelity review will be replicated in 2019 with a reduction of CONSULTANT time to one consultant who will consult with and guide the DFS Implementation Team to complete the 2019 fidelity review. This will include

CONSULTANT collaboration with the DFS implementation team in the analysis and reporting;

iv. Supervisor Consultation: Provide Coaching

Design and deliver a program for Permanency Supervisors In 2018, each CONSULTANT staff will work with

2 geozones and the DFS Implementation Team will be involved in this process with the expectation of assuming more responsibility as 2019 approaches. During 2019, CONSULTANT will provide consultation to the DFS Implementation Team as they provide coaching and consultation to Permanency Supervisors;

v. Supervisor and Permanency Specialist Competency: Coaching for Case Plan Facilitation

CONSULTANT will make use of the findings from the current Permanency Service fidelity review to identify and address issues that compromise Protective Capacity Family Assessment, Case Plan Facilitation and

Protective Capacity Progress Assessment.

This work will result in the development of a structured approach to alter change focused practice for SIPS

Permanency intervention components. 1

During 2019 the DFS Implementation Team will assume responsibility for ongoing Coaching and Consultation with technical assistance provided by CONSULTANT at a reduced level of effort.

vi. PCFA Skill Practicum

Provide Permanency Specialists with experiential learning sessions that focus on the development of interpersonal skills necessary for completing the PCFA. This practicum will assist Permanency Specialists in becoming more proficient in conducting PCFA intervention stages (interviews) with caregivers. It is estimated that 100 Permanency Specialists will need to complete the 1 ½ day practicum. In 2018, CONSULTANT will conduct 50 practicums with DFS implementation team participating as part of their own development. DFS implementation team will assume greater responsibility by conducting the remaining practicums and with all new staff as their proficiency progresses. In 2019, CONSULTANT will provide one consultant to provide technical assistance to internal DFS implementation team to continue to provide skill practicums for newly hired staff.

vii. PCPA Skills Modules

Facilitated learning will occur through coaching as well as a half (½) day Protective Capacity Progress

Assessment Module designed for fifteen (15) Permanency Specialists. The DFS implementation team will be included in this effort as part of their preparation in becoming model experts. During 2019, they will be expected to take increased responsibility for Permanency Specialist coaching, eventually assuming full control. CONSULTANT will provide support and consultation to the DFS implementation team during 2019.

D. Implementation Unit: SIPS Intervention Model Experts

Assist DFS in establishing a highly capable DFS Implementation Team that can effectively replace

CONSULTANT’s consultants and ensure that continuing resources and efforts are in place to support sustainability.

The DFS Implementation Team will be introduced into all relevant consultation and education efforts for which

CONSULTANT will be responsible, and will gradually progress into assuming more responsibility until such time in 2019 that all responsibility for maintaining and sustaining SIPS can be assigned to them. During 2019, CONSULTANT will collaborate with the Clark DFS Implementation Team to develop a long- range Dynamic

Sustainability Framework Plan which will continue to support and enhance SIPS intervention implementation in the years ahead.

E. Case Transfer Process

In collaboration with management, selected Supervisors, and selected NIA and Permanency Specialists, CONSULTANT and the DFS Implementation Team will mobilize a process for evaluating the current case transfer protocol for the purpose of revising it. CONSULTANT and the DFS Implementation Team will use direct observation, individual surveys and focus groups to evaluate current practice and identify possible options to produce a better case transfer protocol.

F. Staff Selection: Supervisors and Specialists

1 Case Plan Facilitation refers to what the Permanency Specialist does from week to week to facilitate successful achievement of goals and case outcomes based upon effective interpersonal skills and relationship building.

P:\PU\_WORK\_CBEs\2018\C604814\604814_slt.docxocument A-4

CONSULTANT will collaborate with DFS and the UNLV Training Partnership to develop a method or process that increases staff position occupancy by delivering quality trained staff in a timely manner.

G. Quality Assurance/Quality Improvement (QA/QI)

Collaborate with management to identify areas of QA/QI involvement which can contribute to model intervention and enhance the quality of performance among staff. The purpose of the collaboration will be to identify existing and potential areas of responsibility that QA/QI staff has that provide potential for QA/QI involvement. Once quality improvement areas have been identified, the collaboration can continue toward completion of a plan for involvement including objectives, procedures, analysis and reporting on findings, and communication of findings to other key players responsible for SIPS implementation.

H. Court and Legal Partner Engagement

Develop and implement regular education and collaboration type meetings with Family Court and other legal partners. The purpose of the meetings, beyond keeping the legal community informed about Clark DFS efforts and

SIPS, is to enhance the working relationship and communication between Clark DFS and the courts. Development of products and processes by CONSULTANT will keep the following as guiding influences:

i. Increase the understanding and compatibility between Court expectations and requirements and Clark DFS practice model (SIPS) approach and decision-making standards in order to improve the quality of intervention for child safety, permanency, and wellbeing; and

ii. Encourage a common language, understanding of intervention objectives and process, and mutually agreed-upon goals for change between the Court, the Department, and caregivers in order to achieve consistency and focus for service delivery to families.

CONSULTANT’s approach will begin by accessing and reviewing documentation generated by Clark DFS

Managers based upon the experiences from the 2016 legal/court modules. CONSULTANT will identify certain areas that indicated alignment issues between Clark DFS and the court process. The objective will be to seek more compatibility specific to information within the petitions, and how to effectively introduce the NIA, Conditions for Return, the Protective Capacity Family Assessment and the Protective Capacity Progress Assessment into the court process. The plan will involve scheduled quarterly meetings with relevant court-related professionals to discuss issues and provide information and guidance from the SIPS model perspective.

I. Project Management

Project management will include, but is not limited to:

i. ongoing/continuing project planning and management of project in general;

ii. specific, responsive assessment and planning for project as needed and identified during the process of project implementation;

iii. responsive planning and project adjustment subject to ILT leadership and direction;

iv. troubleshooting and problem solving as project implementation occurs;

v. identification and planning for adjustments requested by DFS not anticipated but that occur as a natural outcome of project implementation;

vi. planning for and accommodating new DFS initiatives, challenges, changes that occur as a result of, or parallel to, project implementation;

vii. personnel management;

P:\PU\_WORK\_CBEs\2018\C604814\604814_slt.docxocument A-5

viii. scheduling, work plan completion, creation of detailed/specific plans for issues and needs that arise during project implementation;

ix. collaboration with DFS leadership; and

x. responsiveness to DFS leadership and DFS direction concerning continuing project implementation; and planning for sustaining model beyond project implementation.
