Policy and Advocacy
The Seattle/King County project is pursuing a policy
agenda at the local and state levels, which proposes the following strategy
for growing and sustaining a network of resources and supports for FFN caregivers:
• Allows each county/region to develop a customized plan.
• Is voluntary and engages caregivers in ways that are helpful and culturally
sensitive (is not part of the state regulatory system or quality improvements
for licensed care).
• Builds on existing resources in communities, by encouraging organizations
already serving parents, families and children to conduct outreach and provide
inclusion to family, friend and neighbor caregivers and the children in
their care.
• Provides infrastructure for community awareness; training and technical
assistance to community organizations to infuse service to FFN caregivers
and children in their existing activities; coordination; information and
referral; evaluation; and other activities that support growth and connection
of resources and supports.
• Provides some activities and resources designed specifically to reach
extended family caregivers, such as educational Play & Learn groups; informational
materials; safety and educational tools; home visits; mentoring; and workshops.
• Provides a public funding stream for the above components, to complement
private investments and community resources.
