A Developmental Approach to Child Welfare Services for Infants, Toddlers, & Their Families (Toolkit)
This self-assessment tool stems from the collective vision of leading child welfare and early childhood development organizations.
It is designed to help states and counties both prepare to meet the new federal requirements for state child welfare plans and conduct ongoing assessment and quality improvement efforts by: assessing how well their child welfare practices and policies address the developmental needs of infants and toddlers; identifying where and how policies and practices can be improved; and engaging partners in taking constructive action.
Check it out in the link below (PDF format).
What a great tool! I cannot wait to share with my networks! There is a new federal grant my local office of education is applying for to work on early prevention/intervention for high risk 0-5 students. This will be a great resource locally regardless if they get the grant.
