TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Child Welfare Information Gateway’s OneReach Customer Feedback Survey 

 

PURPOSE:  Child Welfare Information Gateway (Information Gateway) is a service of the Children’s Bureau (CB), a component within the Administration for Children and Families, and is dedicated to the mission of connecting professionals and concerned citizens to information on programs, research, legislation, and statistics regarding the safety, permanency, and well-being of children and families.  

 

To best serve the child welfare community, Information Gateway offers a hotline (1-800-394-3366) for customers to engage information support specialists for additional information and submit inquiries. Information Gateway utilizes the OneReach Artificial Intelligence (AI) text messaging chat system. Customer calls with the Information Gateway begin with the AI text messaging system which can help to answer questions via text. Customers can request to be transferred to a live agent at any time during the interaction. The OneReach platform facilitates chat conversations with customers who call the Information Gateway hotline available on the website.

The proposed Child Welfare Information Gateway OneReach Customer Feedback Survey would be administered via text after the interaction with AI has ended or 45 minutes after their transfer to a live agent.

Feedback about customer experiences and suggestions for improvements collected through the feedback survey will help the Information Gateway ensure that the AI system meets the needs of customers. 

 

DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS: Respondents will be Information Gateway customers who call the hotline and engage with the OneReach text system.
