BARBARA NEEDELL, MSW, PhD The California Child Welfare Outcomes System and the CFSR: What’s the latest? CWDA Conference October 30, 2008 BARBARA NEEDELL, MSW, PhD Center for Social Services Research University of California at Berkeley The Performance Indicators Project is a collaboration of the California Department of Social Services and the University of California at Berkeley, and is supported by the California Department of Social Services and the Stuart Foundation 1

Tracking Child Welfare Outcomes Rate of Referrals/ Substantiated Referrals Home-Based Services vs. Out of Home Care Reentry to Care Permanency Through Reunification, Adoption, or Guardianship Counterbalanced Indicators of System Performance Use of Least Restrictive Form of Care Length of Stay Positive Attachments to Family, Friends, and Neighbors Stability of Care Source: Usher, C.L., Wildfire, J.B., Gogan, H.C. & Brown, E.L. (2002). Measuring Outcomes in Child Welfare. Chapel Hill:  Jordan Institute for Families, 2

2007 California: Racial Disparity Indices (group compared to White) Black Native American Hispanic *Updated with Q1_08 Data *To show relative rates / disparity rates, the log of all graphics must be taken *Value labels must be manually entered in order to reflect the raw disparity numbers (rather than the logged numbers) Asian/PI Underrepresented 1.00 Overrepresented 3

1998 to 2008 California: Foster Care Caseload by Race/Ethnicity 104,325 TOTAL Caseload Black Hispanic 70,423 White *Updated with Q1_08 Data (through April 2008) Asian/PI Native American 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 4

CFSR: Seven Outcomes Safety Children are, first and foremost, protected from abuse and neglect. Children are safely maintained in their homes whenever possible and appropriate. Permanency Children have permanency and stability in their living arrangements. The continuity of family relationships and connections is preserved for children. Child and Family Well-Being Families have enhanced capacity to provide for their children's needs. Children receive appropriate services to meet their educational needs. Children receive adequate services to meet their physical and mental health needs. 6

CFSR: Seven Systemic Factors Statewide information system Case review system Quality assurance program Staff and provider training Service array Agency responsiveness to the community Foster and adoptive parent licensing, recruitment and retention 7

National Standards National standards for both the safety indicators and permanency composites are based on State performance in 2004, 75th percentile In California, we at CSSR attempt to replicate each of the measures and composite scores, break them out by child welfare and probation agencies, and report/update quarterly. Although national standards have been set for the composites rather than individual measures… The goal is to improve State performance on all measures (every improvement reflects a better outcome for children) Improvement on any given measure will result in an increase in the overall composite score We post the 75th percentile performance for each indicator/measure and call it the national goal 8
