The Child and Family Services Review: An Agenda for Change Kathy Yurchisin Krista Hudson Kentucky CFSR Stakeholders Advisory Group

The 1994 Amendment to the Social Security Act authorized the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) to review State child and family service programs in order to assure compliance with the State plan requirements in titles IV-B and IV-E of the Social Security Act.

The Child and Family Services Reviews cover:  Child Protection Services  Foster Care  Adoption  Family Preservation  Family Support  Independent Living

The CSFR is designed to help states improve child welfare services and the outcomes for families and children who receive services by identifying strengths and needs within State programs, as well as areas where technical assistance can lead to practice and program improvements.

Conceptual Framework The reviews:  Emphasize Accountability  Are conducted in collaboration between the federal and state governments  Rely on information from multiple sources  Utilize two perspectives: outcomes and systemic factors  Identify strengths and needs

The reviews promote practice principles that support improved outcomes for children and families such as:  Family-centered best practice  Community-based services  Strategies to strengthen parental capacity to protect and nurture their children  Individualizing services that respond to the unique needs of children and families

Structure of the Child and Family Service Reviews  Statewide Assessment  Onsite Review  Outcomes: safety, permanency and family and child well-being  Systemic Factors: statewide information system, service array, case review system, staff training, quality assurance system, agency responsiveness to community. foster and adoptive parent licensing, recruitment and retention  Substantial Conformity  Program Improvement Plans (PIPs)  Penalties
