Let's get serious since the AGENCY...OVERHAUL??? Let's get serious since the AGENCY has been given numerous chances to get it right but have ignored the many Positive Suggestions.<br />Oh Yes, the BIGGEST most used Tool..ie 'If we only had more $$$$ and Trained employees, we could do a better job"<br />>>>>>>OUTCOME>> Reform DID NOT WORK.<br />So how bad is TEXAS???<br />Check this Out>><br /><br />The federal government's<br />dereliction allows states to fall short on meeting minimum child welfare<br />standards. Below is information specific to Texas:<br /><br />CFSR Results Summary:<br />In its Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) process, HHS determines<br />whether each state is in substantial conformity with 7 specific<br />outcomes (pertaining to the areas of safety, permanency and family and<br />child well-being) and 7 systemic factors (relating to the quality of<br />services delivered to children and families and the outcomes they<br />experience). In the first two rounds of the CFSR, HHS has concluded<br />that Texas was:<br /><br />Round 1 (2002)<br />NOT in substantial conformity with 6 of the 7 Outcomes<br /><br />in substantial conformity with 7 of the 7 Systemic Factors<br /><br /><br />Round 2 (2009)<br />NOT in substantial conformity with 6 of the 7 Outcomes<br /><br />NOT in substantial conformity with 2 of the 7 Systemic Factors<br /><br /><br />Although<br />federal law mandates that any state found not to be operating in<br />substantial conformity during an initial or subequent review must begin a<br />full review within two years after approval of the state's program<br />improvement plan, HHS has announced that Texas will not undergo Round 3<br />of the CFSR until FY 2017 (see CFSR Technical Bulletin #7 (March 2014)).<br />Data Source: http://www.caichildlaw.org/Shame_on_US_TX.htm<br />Defend yourselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078607630746400030noreply@blogger.com
