Child welfare platforms around the globe face numerous challenges in their quest to ensure the safety, well-being, and prosperity of children. From overloaded case workers to outdated data management systems, the hurdles are substantial. According to a recent survey published by researchers at Child Trends, a leading research organization in the U.S. focused on improving the lives of children and youth, State child-welfare agencies spent about $31.4 billion on child-welfare purposes during state FY2020.
During FY2021, public child protection agencies in the United States, screened allegations of abuse or neglect involving 7.2 million children, and carried out investigations or other protective services responses involving 3.0 million of those children. Follow-up services were provided in the homes of some 900,000 children. Some children are removed from their homes following an investigation; roughly 207,000 children formally entered foster care during FY2021. Neglect and/or parental drug abuse are the circumstances most often associated with foster care entry. Among the 391,000 children in foster care on the last day of FY2021, most (83%) lived with families (nonrelative or relative foster family homes and pre-adoptive homes), 9% lived in a congregate setting, 7% were on trial home visits or in supervised independent living, and 1% had run away. Of the 215,000 children who formally left foster care during FY2021, the largest share returned to their parents or went to live informally with a relative (53%), while 37% left care for a new permanent family via adoption or legal guardianship. At the same time, 9% aged out of care, while most of the remainder (1%) were transferred to the care of another agency. Keeping a track of all these cases to ensure the right care is delivered to these vulnerable citizens lies on the shoulders of public child welfare agencies at the state and local levels. They work with an array of private and public entities—including the courts and social service, health, mental health, education, and law enforcement agencies—to carry out child welfare activities. To ensure the smooth process and that they receive timely assistance is the most important yet tedious task. However, with the advent of case management platforms like CaseXellence, a state-of-the-art case management solutions, there’s a new horizon in child welfare and support enforcement.
