Ace the Illinois CWEL Test 2025 – Empower Your Future in Child Welfare!

The correct answer is A. Gomez v. Johnson. This court case mandates that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) collaborate with the Illinois Department of Corrections for placement planning of delinquent DCFS youth in care. This collaboration ensures that the needs of delinquent youth in the child welfare system are addressed effectively through joint efforts between these two agencies. The other options provided (B. Norman V. Suter, C. Dupuy V. McEwen, D. Hill V. Erickson) do not specifically pertain to the mandated collaboration between DCFS and the Illinois Department of Corrections as outlined in the Gomez v. Johnson case.
