What I Do

I interpret Child Protective Services policies on goods and services to assist frontline staff with purchases for our clients such as clothing, food, medical care, residential care, evaluation and treatment services—and anything else our families, children and elderly need to maintain themselves and alleviate the risk of abuse and neglect. I provide the contract staff with tools, guidance and policies regarding appropriate contracting procedures, and help the contract management staff to contact the vendors to make the purchases.
