Children and Family Services Review (CFSR)

Portrait-multi-generation-family-outdoors

The Department of Family Services (DFS) partners with the Administration for Children and Families to conduct a Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) of the state’s Child Welfare and Juvenile Justice System. This robust federal audit enables Wyoming to evaluate and assess conformity with federal child welfare and juvenile justice requirements while also providing opportunities to work with stakeholders and partners to use information gathered to enhance the system’s capacity to help children and families achieve positive outcomes.

As part of the CFSR, DFS completes of a comprehensive Statewide Assessment. The Statewide Assessment process collects information through surveys and interviews with community stakeholders in order to assess the Safety, Permanency, and Well-Being of children, as well as the following seven systemic factors:

  • Statewide Information System
  • Case Review System
  • Quality Assurance System
  • Staff and Provider Training
  • Service Array and Resource Development
  • Agency Responsiveness to the Community
  • Foster and Adoptive Parent Licensing, Recruitment and Retention.

The Department received its Final CFSR Report on June 21, 2024, and submitted the Program Improvement Plan (PIP) draft to the federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on September 19, 2024.  We want to thank the following people for helping develop the PIP: caseworkers, supervisors, district managers, leadership, program analysts,  community stakeholders, Department attorneys, licensing, support services, Children’s Justice Project, youth, bio-parents, and foster parents with lived experience.  We look forward to finalizing the PIP and moving towards implementation to improve outcomes for the children and families we serve.

The CFSR final report can be seen here.
