2021 New York Laws EXC - Executive Article 49-A - New York State Family Policy 991 - Family Policy Guidelines.

§ 991. Family  policy  guidelines.  All  state  and  local  government   programs should be guided by the following principles:1. Families are  best  served  by  comprehensive  programs  which  are   directed towards all aspects of individual and family development.2.  Families  who  are the consumers of services should be partners in   the planning, delivery and evaluation of those services.3. Families needs can be met best by developing  and  nurturing  their   inherent strengths.4. Families deserve a realistic level of economic security.5. Families receive the greatest benefit from flexible, accessible and   comprehensive  services  which  are  delivered  in  a  manner  which  is   culturally and linguistically sensitive to their needs.6. Families are best served  when  intervention  occurs  as  early  as   possible  and  is  designed  to  give  priority  to prevention of family   disintegration. Primary emphasis should be given to  establishing  safe,   nurturing  environments  which  support the healthy growth of all family   members.7. Families who have members  placed  in  care  settings  outside  the   nuclear  family  must be provided with services to help them reunite. If   return is not possible, plans for alternative  permanent  care  must  be   made by agencies caring for the child.8.  Families  deserve services which are coordinated and where special   attention is paid to ongoing accessibility to multiple services.9. Families receive  the  greatest  benefit  from  effective  services   delivered by a qualified, trained workforce.  This workforce, especially   direct  caregivers,  must  receive professional recognition, support and   appropriate compensation.10. Families need public and voluntary human  services  systems  which   work  together and are accountable to society, each other and the people   they serve.
