The goal of Peer Consultation is to enhance the capacity for the use of technology and child welfare data in policy, practice, and management decision-making. Consultants are considered peer consultants as opposed to paid consultants. Federal participation may be requested by the States, however, the focus of peer consultation is State to State dialogue. The role of NRC-CWDT is to facilitate the logistical considerations for the State and the State Peer Consultant(s). Based on the request and State input, a group of State advisors and the NRC-CWDT will match the Peer Consultant(s) available who will provide expertise that reflect issues in the request of the State seeking assistance. The Peer Consultation visit can range from a facilitated conference call to a two-day on-site meeting. The NRC-CWDT will cover the travel and lodging costs for on-site consultation. The requesting State will be responsible for on-site logistics. If technical assistance outside the scope of this process is necessary a referral to the appropriate resource may be made. For assistance with developing a request please call Tom Hay at (202) 662-4285.
