Helping Child Welfare agencies improve how services are provided to families.

A child welfare practice model is fundamentally how agency employees, stakeholders, and partners create an environment that is focused on the safety, permanency, and well-being of the children and families served. The practice model represents the agency’s mission, vision, and values, and is fully embedded in policies, procedures, practices, training, and quality assurance improvement systems.
