Strategic Planning in Child Welfare: Agency Process Alignment Toolkit

This resource supports child welfare agencies in mapping connections across federally mandated and internal planning efforts, such as the Child and Family Services Review Program Improvement Plans, Child and Family Services Plans, and title IV-E prevention plans. It offers structured tools and discussion guides to help teams assess goals, outcomes, team composition, data practices, and resource use to promote alignment with the agency’s mission and priorities and the lived experiences of the families it supports.
