Sponsored by the Children’s Bureau
(CB) in the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF),
Administration for Youth and Families (ACF), U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS), the Evaluation of the Child
Welfare Capacity Building Collaborative seeks approval for the
information collection to track, monitor, and evaluate the
activities of the Capacity Building Collaborative. The
Collaborative includes three Federally funded centers (Center for
States, Center for Tribes, and Center for Courts) that deliver
national child welfare expertise and evidence-informed training and
technical assistance services to state, tribal, and territorial
public child welfare agencies and Court Improvement Programs
(CIPs). This study uses instruments that build on previously
approved OMB instruments, including satisfaction surveys,
assessment tools, interview protocols, and service-specific
feedback forms (OMB #0970–0484, expiration 11/30/22; OMB
#0970–0494, expiration 2/28/23). The CB funded Centers’ collective
goal is to build the capacities of State, local, Tribal child
welfare systems to successfully undertake practice, organizational,
and systemic reforms necessary to implement federal policies, meet
federal standards, and achieve better outcomes for the children,
youth and families they serve. Agencies that receive formula
funding through the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act, and
titles IV-B and IV-E of the Social Security Act are eligible for
technical assistance from the Children’s Bureau to support
implementation of these programs, compliance with federal
requirements, and improvement of outcomes. The Centers’ services
have been organized into three major categories: (1) product
development and information dissemination, including the creation
and release of website content, publications, and other resources;
(2) training and peer networking, including the delivery of online
courses or “learning experiences,” virtual presentations, and
facilitated peer discussions; and (3) jurisdiction-specific
consultation and coaching, including workshops and onsite visits to
states and tribes to provide customized support. Each service
category has been designed to achieve specific outcomes that
require different levels of engagement and interaction between the
Center and its targeted service recipients.
