The Capacity Building Center for Courts has received Children's Bureau funding to review existing child welfare court performance measures, with the goal of developing a set of measures which not only builds on lessons learned from past performance measurement, but also incorporates the best and latest thinking on judicial, attorney and court performance measures for child welfare cases.

Understanding your experiences piloting the performance measures will help improve the final measures and identify areas that require more guidance. As a pilot site, you have been invited to complete a survey about implementation of the judicial, attorney and court performance measures in child welfare cases in your jurisdiction.

The survey should take 15 minutes to complete. Your participation in the survey is voluntary. You may refuse to take part in the research or exit the survey at any time without penalty or loss of otherwise entitled benefits. You may decline to answer any question you do not wish to answer for any reason. There are no foreseeable risks involved in participating in the survey. Your alternative is to not participate. You will receive no direct benefits from participating in this research study. However, your responses will help us learn more about child welfare court data capacity in your state.

Your survey responses will be sent to a link on the Qualtrics survey platform where data will be stored in a password protected electronic format. People overseeing the study such as the IRB may review records. Survey responses you provide may be associated with the name of your state and included in a report shared within the Children’s Bureau and the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and may be shared in public reports, articles, and presentations. Information from this study may be securely shared with qualified researchers to help guide future research and support program improvement.

Your responses to this survey will remain private to the extent permitted by law.

If you have questions or concerns, or complaints about the survey or study, or to report a research-related problem, you may contact Co-Principal Investigators Dr. Alicia Summers and Dr. Sophia Gatowski.
