The California Experience University/Agency collaboration Publicly available reports since 1994, online since 2000 Nationally mandated measures (CFSR) State mandated measures (California Outcomes and Accountability System—AB636 law since 2001) Enhancements and additional measures Dynamic, user defined drill down and breakout functionality All tables refreshed quarterly Data over time, for California and each of the 58 counties Presentations, tools, etc.

CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley public data: putting it all out there pros: greater performance accountability community awareness and involvement, encourages public-private partnerships ability to track improvement over time, identify areas where programmatic adjustments are needed County/County, County/State and Agency/Court collaboration cons: o potential for misuse, misinterpretation, and misrepresentation o available to those with agendas or looking to create a sensational headline o misunderstood data can lead to the wrong policy decisions o “Torture numbers, and they’ll confess to anything” Gregg Easterbrook

CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley how’s it working for us? Publicly available data for child welfare has become business as usual State, county, courts and UCB are able to respond quickly and thoroughly to data abuse/number torturing Child Welfare Council formed in 2006 (AB2216) chaired by HHS Secretary Kim Belshe and Justice Carlos Moreno Most outcome measures are improving over time
