The Foster Care Bill of Rights (FCBR) Section 210.564, RSMo was passed in 2017. There are seven items listed in the FCBR which reinforce the Children’s Division’s mission and goals. As part of this legislation, the FCBR must be provided and explained to all school aged children in foster care and his or her foster parent. The child’s case manager is responsible for providing an age appropriate explanation or arranging for this explanation to occur. The FCBR and a set of talking points are available on the internet to help guide staff in having age appropriate discussions with youth about the FCBR.
