Seeking Expert Panelists on Issues Related to Parental Abduction

Coverage in the media (print, broadcast and social media) and widespread use of AMBER Alerts have increased public awareness of parental abduction over the years.  From a policy perspective, there have been a number of policies implemented to address parental kidnapping on state, national and international levels, including but not limited to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act and the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of Child Abduction.  NASW is seeking Members who are experts to help update NASW’s current policy statement in this area of practice. If you are interested please email your resume and bio to NASWpolicy@socialworkers.org by November 3rd.
