Book Description
As the director of the District of Columbia's Child and Family Services Agency, Olivia Golden led reform of a system in federal receivership. Now, in Reforming Child Welfare, she uses her expertise as an administrator, an academic, and an advocate to pinpoint the factors that lead to success. "Writing from the inside," she maintains, "makes it possible to analyze, in retrospect, what we thought we were doing, what it felt like, and what led us to good or bad choices." By sharing her personal story, along with her analysis of the research literature and two other case studies in Alabama and Utah, Golden finds fresh insight on improving outcomes for imperiled children and families.

Pages : 33
Book Description
Reviews of the District of Columbia's (the District) Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) have identified significant problems in the child welfare system. Congress took steps to help address these problems through passage of the D.C. Family Court Act of 2001. This act reformed court practices and established procedures intended to improve interactions between the court and social service agencies in the District. The act also directed the Mayor to prepare a plan for integrating the computer systems of District agencies with those of the Family Court of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The fiscal year 2002 D.C. Appropriations Act authorized $200,000 for the completion of a plan on integrating the computer systems and $500,000 for CFSA to use for social workers to implement family court reform. The Appropriations Act also required the Mayor to prepare a plan for the use of these funds and mandated that the plan be issued on July 5, 2002. Additionally, the Appropriations Act required us to analyze the Mayor's plan within 30 days after its issuance. Because the appropriated funds will not be available until after our report is issued, the District used its own funds for the completed activities.
