Proposed Information Collection
Activity; Comment Request
Proposed Projects: Title: Evaluation of
the Improving Child Welfare Outcome
through Systems of Care Grant Program.
Description: The 1994 Amendments
to the Social Security Act (SSA)
authorize the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services to review State
child and family service programs to
ensure conformance with the
requirements in titles IV–B and IV–E of
SSA. Under the Final Rule, which took
effect March 25, 2000, States are
assessed for substantial conformity with
certain Federal requirements for childwelfare services. The Child and Family
Service Reviews (CFSR), administered
by the Children’s Bureau, are designed
to ensure conformity with Federal childwelfare requirements and, ultimately, to
help States improve child-welfare
services and outcomes, specifically
safety, permanency and well-being
outcomes for child-welfare-involved
children and their families. States
determined not to have achieved
substantial conformity in any of the
areas assessed are required to develop
and implement Program Improvement
Plans (PIP) addressing the areas of
nonconformity.
The Systems of Care grant cluster,
from which these data are proposed to
be collected, is designed to encourage
public child-welfare agencies to address
the issues identified in their State’s
CFSR. The data collected from these
demonstration sites will allow the
Children’s Bureau to test whether this
approach can help States reach the goals
stated in their PIP and explore how
child welfare can benefit from being
part of a system of care. Data will be
collected via interviews, forms
completed by project staff, surveys,
focus groups and case-file reviews. Data
also will be collected to determine the
extent to which the Technical
Assistance (TA) provided, brokered or
contracted by the TA and Evaluation
Center is meeting the needs of the
grantees, and how.
Respondents: Systems of Care Project
Directors (members of the Systems of
Care collaborative may include
representatives from mental health,
juvenile justice, education, health,
among others); child-welfare agency
supervisors and caseworkers; partner
agency caseworkers; and families who
have been involved with the childwelfare system.
