Child welfare policy is a system with extraordinary authority—removing children, intervening in families, making life-altering decisions.
And yet, it often operates without the level of transparency or performance clarity the public expects elsewhere in government.
FREOPP developed its project, The Center for Safe and Stable Futures, to drive sound policy for our nation’s children and families. Together, we can change lives for the better.
Our debates often focus on what the statute says, how the program works, or what the top line data suggest. What we measure typically emphasizes the experiences of adults. What gets lost is the fundamentally different way children experience the child welfare system.
