| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The California Child and Family Services Review (C-CFSR) System was formed as a result of the passage of the Child Welfare System Improvement and Accountability Act (AB 636) in 2001 and modeled after the Federal CFSR. The C-CFSR was designed to improve outcomes for children in the child welfare system while holding county and state agencies accountable for the outcomes achieved. This statewide accountability system includes the completion of a County Self-Assessment (CSA) which includes a peer review, development of a five-year System Improvement Plan (SIP), the submission of annual SIP Progress Reports, and quarterly monitoring of SIP strategies and effects on Child Welfare outcomes.
The current CSA process began in 2019 and has included input from a variety of community partners, stakeholders and Child Welfare and Probation service recipients.
The CSA has provided Yolo County Child Welfare Services and Probation the opportunity to assess the local system during a very challenging and transformative time period for the Child Welfare and Probation Systems in the State of California with the implementation of Continuum of Care Reform. This CSA reflects the challenges and transformation that has occurred in Yolo County during the review period, particularly in regards to the delivery of Child Welfare Services. The draft CSA and its findings were presented to the Board on June 23, 2020. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has completed their final review and approval of the CSA and the final CSA is attached for Board approval. |
