Communication gaps cause court delays.
Communication gaps cause court delays.
Communication breakdowns are a leading cause of court delays in child welfare cases.
Delays are financially costly, but more important is the heart-breaking costs of extending a child's time in foster care and delaying family reunification

For Attorneys
“The folder of evidence”
One parent attorney gave her clients a pocket folder at the dispositional hearing before discovering Sunlight.
Purpose
“Put every piece of evidence and documentation in here,” she told them. “And keep it until we meet”… which often was months away.
Challenge
Clients are often in a state of crisis. They may have unstable housing, relational turmoil or other situations that make it difficult, if not impossible, to keep up with that paperwork.
Solved By Sunlight:
“For me as an attorney representing parents against a massive system, Sunlight is game-changing. Now they can screenshot evidence immediately and upload it. All I need is evidence that they’re doing what they’ve been ordered to do.”
I can prove my client showed up at the visit and no one brought the children.
I can prove the email notifying them of their family team meeting was sent 15 minutes after it started because someone forgot.
I can prove my client went to the center to start parenting classes and there was no referral.
