The Federal Interagency Work Group on Child Abuse and Neglect shall identify, and seek ways to address, issues facing foster youth who are expectant or parenting (including as a noncustodial parent), including consideration of data collected pursuant to section 479A(7)(B) of the Social Security Act, educating child welfare staff and agencies about the rights of the youth and the permanent negative limits on the youth’s employability and volunteer work with minors when placing the children of foster youth in care, and consulting with current and former foster youth with relevant experience to inform recommendations.
