What is the Child and Family Service Review?
The Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) is a Federal-State collaborative effort, administered by The Children’s Bureau, designed to help ensure that quality services are provided to children and families through state child welfare systems. Following a review, states develop and implement Program Improvement Plans (PIPs), as needed. All states have completed one CFSR (a process that spanned four years), and each state required a Program Improvement Plan (PIP) to improve outcomes and systemic factors. Now, all states have gone or are going through their second round of CFSRs, which began in early 2007 after adaptations to the CFSR process.
What is the Texas CFSR?
The Texas Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) is part of the national CFSR initiative that focuses on the outcomes of state child welfare systems. The first Texas CFSR occurred in February 2002 and the second was completed during the week of March 24, 2008. During the March 2008 review, over 500 stakeholders were interviewed at the three county sites in Harris, Dallas, and El Paso Counties and at the state office site in Austin.
