Foundation for a Child’s Trust (FACT) examines and advocates for those strategies that most effectively advance the best interests of children in Broward County Florida whose families are under the supervision of a judge, so that they heal from the trauma, grief and loss that they have experienced.
The purpose of the dependency system is to ensure safety and permanency for children who are alleged to have been neglected, abused or abandoned. A Guardian ad Litem (GAL) provides advocacy for children whose families are under the supervision of a dependency judge. The GAL provides the Court with increased insight into the circumstances of the child, including what the child wishes, so that the judge can make better-informed decisions.
