This training will provide information on the importance of the qualified expert witness (QEW) in state Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) cases and offer you an interactive learning session to illustrate what QEW testimony looks like in practice. ICWA applies to a state child welfare case when there is an Indian child and a child custody proceeding. Before a state can remove a child or terminate parental rights, the state must find a QEW to support the finding that the continued custody of the child by their parent will likely result in serious emotional or physical damage to the child.
