Transforming Child Welfare Through Measurable Reform

At The Collins Institute for Child & Family Systems, our 12-Point Child Welfare Reform Framework provides a roadmap for building safer, stronger, and more accountable systems. The framework unites evidence-based practices, workforce support, and policy alignment to improve outcomes for children and families.

Guided by principles of safety, prevention, and accountability, the framework helps agencies modernize operations, strengthen supervision, and embed family-centered practice at every level.
