Georgia Division of Family and Children Services has partnered with the Consortium for Children to pilot the use of the Structured Analysis Family Evaluation (SAFE) in the North District which includes Region 1, 2, 3 and 4. SAFE is the Consortium for Children’s standardized home study methodology that has revolutionized the way both public and private child welfare agencies study and evaluate prospective adoptive, kin and foster families. SAFE assists home study practitioners in performing a thorough, structured and uniform evaluation of families who have applied to foster or adopt.
