Child Welfare Performance Ratings: One State's Approach
Abstract
The Adoption & Safe Families Act of 1997 mandated the development
of a system to rate the performance of state child welfare systems. A
few states are developing performance measurement systems that move
quality assurance beyond issues of procedural compliance & into
the area of outcomes. This article describes some important features
of such a system: first, it should track the experience of every child
who is reported for abuse or neglect; second, performance data should
be presented in a context that achieves something closer to true
evaluation; & third, local self-evaluation teams representing
diverse perspectives should interpret performance data. 2 Figures, 8
