Council Member Stevens inquires about a pre-considered introduction that would expand the foster care youth experience survey to include questions about treatment related to gender expression, identity, and sexual orientation. Commissioner Dannhauser explains how ACS plans to use this feedback.
- ACS will treat each survey response as a young person's voice and take it seriously
- The agency plans to analyze results with their committee of young people to understand effective strategies
- After each survey, ACS will put out an action plan based on the results
- The agency aims to continuously update their plan based on survey feedback

The pre consider introduction would include would random foster care youth experiences that what that ACS would distribute to include specific questions about the treatment of foster youth related to the gender expression, gender identity, gender identity, sexual characteristics, and sexual orientation.

If passed, how does ACS plan to use this feedback to drive policy changes regarding LGBT LGBTQ youth fostering placements.

Now how will ACS ensure that foster youth completing the experience survey are comfortable expressing any grievances toward the agency, and there are currently any other options for response to their anonymity and complete without complete completed without the ACS worker present.

I'm gonna ask Steven to ask about the anonymity question.
1:30:23
We we will take you know, every single survey completed as a young person's voice, and we take it very seriously.
1:30:29
As I was mentioning earlier, I really wanna digest those results with our committee and with of young people and understand what they see as strategies that would work for them.
1:30:40
And we each each time we finish the survey results and analyze them, we put out our plan of action for that.
1:30:47
And so we'll continuously update that that plan.
1:30:50
On the anonymity piece for the survey?
