dc.description.abstract | This study uses quantitative and qualitative data analysis to address whether the Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program helps abused, neglected, and dependent children in four judicial districts near Duke University: District 10 (Wake County), District 14 (Durham), District 15A (Alamance), and District 15B (Orange and Chatham). The GAL program is a volunteer-based advocacy program that provides local courts with information and recommendations about a child’s best interest based on independent investigations in order to help the courts determine the child’s permanent placement in a timely manner. North Carolina established the GAL program over 30 years ago to represent the interests of abused and neglected children by giving them a voice in court. | |
