Pennsylvania Children’s Roundtable Summit

The Pennsylvania Children’s Roundtable Summit is a biennial event. It brings together over 5oo Judicial Officers and child welfare leaders. All 67 counties in Pennsylvania are invited to send a team. The county team must include the lead dependency judge and child welfare administrator. Additional team members are invited at the discretion of the judge and administrator.


During the Summit, county teams learn about best practices in child welfare for both courts and agencies. But, the highlight of the Summit is county team time. During this time, county teams meet privately and develop a plan for their county based on the information presented at the Summit. Another high point of the Summit is the opportunity for participants to meet and learn from their colleagues across the state.
