Fayette County Race, Community, Child Welfare: RCCW

We have created an ongoing, productive and supportive dialogue for people to discuss issues of race. By cultivating, encouraging and supporting this ongoing dialogue, the community has more opportunities to be involved in solving the issues of racial disproportionality and disparate outcomes for families and children in Fayette County. The RCCW Fayette County Leadership Advisory Board exists to de

crease disproportionality and disparate outcomes within the Fayette County child welfare system by:

•Creating awareness of our community's problem of racism and its impact on children

•Communicating the long term impacts of racial disproportionality and disparate outcomes on the Fayette County community

•Expanding the coalition of anti-racist advocates and practitioners

•Funding and implementing anti-racist training and education

•Monitoring measurable outcomes of children in all related systems in Fayette County

•Implementing evidence based best practices

•Effecting public policy at the local and state level
