Region IV Citizen Review Panel
Citizen Review Panels (CRPs) are organized by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare in each of its seven regions to examine Idaho’s child protection system and make recommendations for improvement.
Each Citizen Review Panel is also tasked with reviewing all cases brought under the child protective act that have been open in the corresponding district court, or other appropriate local jurisdiction, longer than 120 days.
Each CRP produces a quarterly summary that provides recommendations on how to improve the child protection system.
The Citizen Review Panels are comprised of up to seven volunteers that reside within the boundaries of the region that they support.
