These efforts will specifically focus on the development, expansion, strengthening and/or improvement of the information management systems used to record case activity in order to strengthen the capacity of child welfare agencies to integrate policy and practice and to improve the delivery of services and the outcomes for children, youth and families. Additionally, this NRC will work with the National Resource Center for Legal and Judicial Issues to promote the exchange of data between child welfare agencies and the family and juvenile courts, and using both court and child welfare data to assess progress towards achieving timely permanency for children.
