However, no matter how well-equipped Dennis Goodwin is for the position, there remain serious concerns about the independence of the ombudsman's office that should be addressed by state lawmakers.It is not appropriate for the contract of the ombudsman to be overseen by the Colorado Department of Human Services, the agency he is charged with investigating.The ombudsman, who looks into complaints and concerns about how the child protection system is working, ought to be completely separate from the DHS, perhaps ensconced in the state attorney general's office, or with the legislature.And the ombudsman's office also should have the power to issue subpoenas so the office has the legal clout to ensure it is getting the information it is entitled to.The experience of the first child welfare ombudsman, Becky Miller Updike, demonstrates that the office doesn't always get the cooperation necessary. In an April report that critiqued a DHS fatality review, Updike chronicled how the DHS denied having further documentation in this particular case when indeed it did.That is unacceptable.Advertisement\nWe surely hope a bill giving the ombudsman more autonomy and subpoena power is on the legislative to-do list for the next session.State lawmakers created the ombudsman position in 2010 and the office opened in May 2011.The National Association of Counsel for Children, a non-profit advocacy group, has the contract for the position and hires the ombudsman.The position was recommended out of concern over a string of deaths of children who had contact with the child protection system.In Colorado, this horrible bit of history has repeated itself several times — abused and neglected children dying amid questions about whether the child welfare system could have better protected them.The selection of Goodwin to continue this oversight work positions the office well. He has 30 years experience with the Lakewood Police Department and the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office, a significant part of which involved child abuse investigation work.With a few changes, the office will be better equipped to be the independent watchdog it was intended to be.Print Email Font ResizeReturn to Top Related Stories
