Figure 4: National Resource Center for Child Protective Services Logic Model
Problem statement: The Child and Family Services Reviews reveal that all public child welfare agencies need continued improvement in the areas of safety,
permanency, and well-being. Many task-focused strategies states have used to improve performance have achieved only modest results. The complexity of child
welfare demands a systemic approach toward making lasting change and affecting long-term outcomes.
Goal: To work with other members of the T/TA Network to build the capacity of public child welfare agencies. To use the Systemic Change Framework to assist
agencies in developing and integrating policies and practices to improve the prevention, reporting, assessment, and treatment of child abuse and neglect.
