The Importance Of CASA

222 Words1 Pages
CASA works closely with Henrico County juvenile judges who refer cases, clerks of the court who assist with files and guardians ad litem representing the legal interests of children. Judges support the best interests of the child by assisting with training new advocates, assigning CASAs, and using the investigative reports to make more knowledgeable decisions for the child and family. Henrico CASA has received many accolades from the judges, including current chief judge, the Honorable Rondelle Herman, who says "CASA fills in a lot of blanks so the judges can see things more clearly."

CASAs work with Social Services (DSS) caseworkers to ensure information is exchanged to create the best safety plan and service provision for child victims.
