Are We Counting Everything That Counts? Webinar – Thursday, March 15, 1 pm EST, Noon CST, 11 am MST, 10 am PST, 9 am AKST
Child Welfare agencies count a lot of things with the help of their data systems, but do we collect all of the right indicators to tell us how to better promote child safety? Listen to experts discuss how data can help us know if we are doing quality work, if we are meeting our fundamental purposes, and help us examine how to do better. Hear NRC staff share their advice, and learn from the successes and challenges experienced by a State.
Expert panel includes Kim Wieczorek, SACWIS manager from South Dakota, Pamela Bennett, from the National Resource Center for Child Protective Services and Janet Ciarico representing the National Resource Center for Child Welfare Data and Technology.
