When considering removal of an Indian child from their home, various perspectives are reviewed, including those of Qualified Expert Witnesses (QEWs). This training will help you understand how to find, develop, and prepare QEWs to testify in Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) cases and implement ICWA effectively in your work. This content is best suited for DCYF staff who are familiar with ICWA, and Tribal workers.
A QEW is a professional qualified to testify regarding whether the child’s continued custody by the parent or Indian custodian is likely to result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child. QEWs provide testimony in ICWA cases and have substantial knowledge of the prevailing social and cultural standards and child rearing practices within a Tribal or Indian community. QEW court testimony is required upon removal of an Indian child from their home to prevent placement, and a QEW also provides testimony about efforts made toward reunification of child(ren) to their parent(s) or custodian.
This course begins with guiding you through developing an understanding of the historic relationship between Indian children and the United States child welfare policy, which led to ICWA. You will learn how to implement ICWA effectively, and how it is intended to keep an Indian child with their family.
DCYF staff can express interest by emailing the DCYF Office of Tribal Relations at dcyf.tribalrelations@dcyf.wa.gov for the Working With Qualified Expert Witnesses in Support of ICWA (webinar) course. For support with the Washington State Learning Center (WSLC), please contact DCYF.LearningCenter@dcyf.wa.gov.
Other workforce members, such as Tribal workers, can request registration for this course using the Alliance External Registration form. Use this form also if you are CWTAP, Private Agency, and Judicial Personnel (incl. CASA/GAL). For help with this webform, please contact Alliance Support via acwecurr@uw.edu.
