- Child Welfare Outcomes 2002-2005:
Report to Congress is the seventh
in a series of reports from the U.S. Department of Health and
Human
Services (the Department) designed to inform Congress, the
States,
and the public and to promote improvement in the delivery of
child
welfare services. The Child Welfare Outcomes Reports provide
information about each State's performance on seven national
outcomes
related to the safety, permanency, and well-being of children
involved in the child welfare system. These outcomes reflect
widely
accepted performance objectives for child welfare practice.
In addition to the 12 original measures used in previous
reports,
Child Welfare Outcomes 2002-2005 presents data on four new
composite
measures (including 15 individual measures) developed for the
second
round of the Department's Child and Family Services Reviews
that
began in March 2007. These composites were developed in
consultation
with State child welfare administrators, legislators, child
advocacy
organizations, and other child welfare experts.
Child Welfare Outcomes Reports are required under the Adoption
and
Safe Families Act of 1997, which was designed to reform child
welfare
practice, enhance accountability, and focus attention on the
results
of child welfare services.

social services, treatment, mental health, medical, child
welfare,
education, public health, federal agencies, non-profit
organizations and
