What is the key duty of Parent's Attorneys within child welfare proceedings?

  1. Take official notes of court proceedings

  2. Represent the parents or legal guardians

  3. Take official notes of court proceedings

  4. Ensure proper delivery of child welfare services

The correct answer is: Represent the parents or legal guardians

The key duty of Parent's Attorneys within child welfare proceedings is to represent the parents or legal guardians. Parent's Attorneys are responsible for advocating for their clients' rights, presenting their perspectives to the court, and ensuring that their clients receive fair treatment throughout the legal process. This role involves providing legal counsel, preparing legal documents, and representing their clients in court hearings. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A and C, which mention taking official notes of court proceedings, are not the primary duty of Parent's Attorneys. Option D, which refers to ensuring the proper delivery of child welfare services, is the responsibility of other professionals within the child welfare system, such as case workers or service providers.
