Child and Family Services Reviews

Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSRs) are assessments conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate how state child welfare agencies support families and protect children. The reviews focus on outcomes such as the safety, permanence, and well-being of children in the foster care system. They help identify strengths and areas for improvement within the child welfare system, promote accountability, and facilitate better practices. Ultimately, CFSRs aim to ensure that children receive the care and support they need to thrive and that families are supported in staying together when possible.
