Recurrence of Maltreatment: CFSR Round 4 Statewide Data Indicator Series

This factsheet helps child welfare leaders, managers, data and continuous quality improvement (CQI) staff, and others understand and explain the Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) statewide data indicator recurrence of maltreatment. This indicator measures whether children who were subject of a substantiated or indicated report of abuse or neglect experience subsequent maltreatment. Performance on this indicator is used as part of the CFSR Round 4 process to evaluate CFSR Safety Outcome 1 and can also inform CQI, program monitoring, and strategic planning activities. Part of the CFSR Round 4 Statewide Data Indicator Series, this factsheet takes complex data calculations related to state and national performance and condenses them into a digestible reference for individual or group learning.
