EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF WORK
Alliance For Children is the children's advocacy center serving all of Tarrant County. Since
1992, over 53,000 children have benefited from Alliance For Children's teamed
investigations and coordinated approach. Alliance For Children is a nonprofit organization
that operates child-friendly centers located in Arlington, Fort Worth, Hurst and Lakeside. It
is our mission to protect Tarrant County children from child abuse through teamed
investigations, healing services and community education. We use a coordinated, multi-
disciplinary teamed approach to child abuse investigations that allows us to lessen the trauma
to child abuse victims and provide timely,supportive services to children and their protective
caregivers.
This grant will be used to cover 100%salary for the Client Relations Specialist and 14%for
the part-time Center Assistant at the Fort Worth center. Both of these positions act as the
initial contact person for all client, volunteer, and professional inquiries to Alliance For
Children (AFC). These positions provide lobby support to families and children, obtain
family demographic information, and distribute Family Assistance Guides to accompanying
parents/guardians. They provide translation and interpretation services for Spanish-
speaking clients, including phone calls, forensic interviews, written statements and face-to-
face interviews. They also are responsible for maintenance at the facility.
Also included is partial salary (50%) for one Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Coordinator,
who works to increase communication and cooperation between multi-disciplinary partners
(Fort Worth Police Department (FWPD), Department of Family and Protective Services
(DFPS), AFC, Cook Children's, and Tarrant County District Attorney's Office) and works
to ensure that children and families who are in need of services receive referrals to AFC.
DFPS statewide intakes for child sexual abuse cases in Tarrant County which meet AFC's
Protocols, and fall under the jurisdiction of FWPD, are referred to the funded MDT
Coordinator. This individual reviews intakes and links together the necessary multi-
disciplinary partners who are involved or should be involved with the case. The MDT
Coordinator also facilitates referrals for Alliance For Children services such as the Forensic
Interview, Family Advocacy, and Mental Health services based on the reviewed intakes.
The Scope of Work is to be performed and documented in compliance with the monthly
program activities report outlined in exhibit D.
