What do Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) do in child welfare cases?

Accept and file documents for the court record
Take official notes of court proceedings
Work with other court personnel to protect children's best interests
Make final determinations of case issues

The correct answer is: Work with other court personnel to protect children's best interests

Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) work with other court personnel to protect children's best interests in child welfare cases. CASAs advocate on behalf of the child's best interests, conducting independent investigations, attending court hearings, and making recommendations to the court regarding the child's safety, permanency, and well-being. This role is crucial in ensuring that the child's needs are prioritized and considered throughout the legal process. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because CASAs do not primarily have responsibilities relating to accepting and filing documents for the court record, taking official notes of court proceedings, or making final determinations of case issues. Their primary function is to advocate for children in the child welfare system.
