Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR)

Child and Family Services Reviews (CFSR) are assessments conducted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate the effectiveness of state child welfare systems. They focus on how well states protect children, support families, and ensure children's well-being. CFSRs involve reviewing case files, conducting interviews, and analyzing data to identify strengths and areas needing improvement. The results help states enhance their programs and services, ensuring that children are safe, families are supported, and that every child has the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing environment.
