The Citizens Review panel (CRP) is group of people from the community who can deal with the ethics and behaviors of case workers when it comes to Dependency and Neglect cases. This statute is found in the Colorado Revised Statutes 19-3-211. Conflict resolution process
Jeffco Human Services was not making people aware of this process. The law was passed in 1998. The law governing this and rights were discovered in the latter part of December.
I have numerous letters from the director, countless contact with the case worker (Cheryl Hyink), her Supervisor Tim Young, his supervisor Susan Franklin, whom neither of them made mention of the CRP. I wonder why?
Jefferson County was keeping this process internal, so people would think that this was the only way to resolve the unethical unprofessionalretaliatory things that can/do go on was to speak with Jefferson County Human Services. This would be a good way to keep their will and beliefs, this would be a perfect way to people to do their treatment plans fitting or not.
Jefferson County Human Services has had problems with their Medicaid and food stamps office for at least 5 years. This office had files lost, "misplaced" and caseworkers not follow up. Technicians were basically doing their own thing. Programs and procedures were not being followed. Jefferson County Human Services has untrained people not utilizing programming that would catch any kind of error regarding eligibility,determination and case worker error. Even County Management AGREED with many of the findings in this audit.
