Alabama: Child Welfare Complaint Office

About this resource

Child Welfare Complaint Offices, Ombudsman or people/offices called Child Advocates were established within states and/or Child Welfare to investigate complaints, concerns, or violations of children right's while in foster care. 

Ombudsman is a Swedish word that means "representative" or "agent." The names are different in every state though! If you have already tried to talk to your case worker, your case worker's supervisor, or a judge to address your concerns, going to the Complaints Office Contact is the next step.
