Effectiveness in Child Welfare: Our Collective Investment in Improving the Lives of Children and Families

This video, part of the Effectiveness in Child Welfare: Our Role in Improving the Lives of Children and Families: Child Welfare Virtual Expo (CWVE) 2019 learning experience, describes how research, evaluation, and continuous quality improvement efforts help strengthen practice and increase effectiveness in child welfare. Panelists discuss the role everyone has in using data and feedback in order to be effective in their own practice as leaders, midlevel managers, frontline staff, court personnel, service providers, and university researchers.
