Building a Better Child Welfare System for Fresno's Children: Using Data as Our Foundation (and Friend!) Daniel Webster, MSW PhD Center for Social Services Research University of California, Berkeley Fresno Child Welfare Summit: Creating Endless Possibilities for Children and Families Across Fresno County September 27, 2007 Some slides in this presentation originally created by Barbara Needell, and Emily Putnam-Hornstein The Performance Indicators Project is supported by the California Department of Social Services and the Stuart Foundation.

Theoretical Prelude Outcome tracking is only as accurate as what we put into CWS/CMS !

Presentation Outline Fresno county—some challenging demographics A review of outcome performance The road forward—linking outcomes to practice improvement

FRESNO: Point in Time: Facility Types

FRESNO: Point in Time: FFA by Ethnic Group

FRESNO: Placement Stability (8 days to 12 months) State Goal (equal to or above line.)

FRESNO: Reunification within 12 Months (Exit Cohort) State Goal (equal to or above line.)

FRESNO: Reentry within 12 Months of Reunification State Goal (equal to or below line.)

FRESNO: Adoption within 24 Months (Exit Cohort) State Goal (equal to or above line.)

Summary of Trends CW participation rates have declined county-wide—but Black and Native American children are overrepresented in all rates. Though the population is small, referral, substantiation, entry, and in care rates have grown for Native American children in the past several years. In care rates are greatest for Native American 0-5 year olds and Black year olds. Racial disparity in Fresno CW is greatest for Blacks and Native Americans. There has been a large increase in the use of FFA placements over the past 5 years. Other placement types have been steady or declined slightly. FFAs placement rates are highest for Hispanic and Asian children, lowest for Blacks.

Summary of Trends continued… Placement stability for spells a year or less has increased slightly, but is substantially lower than the state goal. Reunification within 12 months (exit cohort) has declined in the past several years, is lowest for Blacks, and is substantially lower than the state goal. Reentry rate is very low (surpassing state goal) – but was highest in the most recent time period for Black and Native American children. Adoption within 24 months (exit cohort) has declined for virtually all children, and has dropped below the state goal.
