The Alabama Children’s Policy Council (CPC) system originated  from the Alabama Juvenile Justice Coordinating Councils and is designed to support providers of children’s services as they work collaboratively in developing community service plans to address the needs of children ages 0-19 and their families.  By creating  a CPC in each county, the unique needs of each community can be addressed. At the state level, these local needs become the driving  force for children’s policies.
