ANDREW M. CUOMO Governor

SHEILA J. POOLE Acting Commissioner

September 29, 2017 Dear Colleagues, As you know, in February 2015 the Division of Child Welfare and Community Services developed a Child Welfare Practice Model that promotes a data informed system. In keeping with this value, we have been developing data teams to support the needs of the local districts, and exploring ways to make our data reports more user-friendly and directly relevant to your work. With that in mind, it is our pleasure to introduce to you the “2016 Bright Spot Package.” The goal of this package is to provide local districts with accessible, easy to use information on Child Protective Services, Prevention, Safety, Foster Care, Permanency, and Adoption. Within the package there are questions to help you frame and interpret the data presented, graphs that display how each locality is performing relative to others, and accompanying tables that provide the numbers behind each county’s performance. In addition, we are in the process of creating data warehouse reports that will allow you to “dive” into the child/family level data behind your county’s performance. We encourage to you to view this data workbook and forthcoming data warehouse reports as learning tools. We hope that your explorations into the data create opportunities for local dialogue around practice improvement and spur ideas for potential systemic change. If you would like assistance with the package, your data team leaders are ready to assist. We are highly invested in promoting practice change using data as the basis of this effort, and look forward to continuing this work with you. Your feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Please let us know how we can continue to make these charts more useful to you, and offer suggestions for additional data elements. Sincerely,

Laura M. Velez

Deputy Commissioner

Introduction What is Bright Spots? Bright Spots is a new data package designed to engage and support counties in their on-going efforts to monitor and improve local practice. There are three pieces to the Bright Spots package:

• The Bright Spots Data Workbook: Included in the pages that follow, the data workbook provides feedback on practice and performance outcomes across six content areas or chapters: CPS Reports, Preventive Services, Safety, Foster Care, Permanency, and Adoption. Within each content area, materials are presented in a set format:

1. a written question/answer page that translates the associated data figure into words and suggests things to consider when interpreting the data;

2. a figure or chart that displays State, NYC, ROS and individual county performance; and

3. a corresponding table that provides the data used for the presented figure, and when available, additional data breakouts that users may find informative.

• Technical Appendix: The Technical Appendix is a separate document that does not include any data but does provide written “how to” guidance for using the package (see brief summary below), as well additional details about each of the metrics included in the data workbook, including information on who was or was not included in the population studied, the specifics of how each outcome was measured and defined, and the data sources.

• Data files: Counties looking to develop and/or test hypotheses regarding the factors that contribute to their performance on any given measure may find it helpful to see the individual child/family files that make-up their outcomes. While we continue to work toward making the data workbook source files available in the data warehouse, county specific files for each of the metrics can be requested from the OCFS Bureau of Research, Evaluation and Performance Analytics. Please send an email to: [email protected].

Tips for how to use this workbook

To help users quickly understand and interpret the data being presented, each outcome metric is accompanied by a set of icons.

Table Setting Metrics accompanied by this type of icon are intended to provide context

• Outcome does not have a clear benchmark or direction to aim toward

• Figures are in gray with counties sorted alphabetically

Bright Spots Metrics accompanied by this type of icon have a desired direction of performance

• Star marks direction counties should aspire to

• Figures are in purple with counties sorted low to high

• Counties presented in purple

Admission Sample

• Graph is based on new admissions in service usage (i.e., does not include all children)

Point in Time/Snapshot

• Graph is based on service usage of all children on a specific date (usually December 31)

Exit Sample

• Graph is based on exit from service usage.

Please refer to the Technical Appendix for more detailed information about how to use the Data Workbook.

CPS Reports

Question: How many children are reported to CPS? How many have a substantiated allegation in at least one indicated report?

Answer: In 2016, for every 1,000 children statewide, 43.8 were named as an alleged victim of abuse/maltreatment in at least one CPS report (Figure 1a). For 14.5 children out of every 1,000 children allegations were substantiated (Figure 1b).

Things to Consider:

• How do the rates shown in Figures 1a & 1b compare to each other? Is your district's substantiation rate significantly less than or close to the report rate? Why?

• How does your rate of preventive service openings per child (Figure 2) compare to your rates of CPS involvement (Figures 1a & 1b)?

• Analysis Tip: This will differ from the counts in MAPS because this calculation is based on a count of children and not reports.

Preventive Services

Question: How many children have a preventive case, including both mandated and non-mandated services, opened each year?

Answer: In 2016, approximately 10 out of every 1,000 children statewide had a preventive case, including both mandated and non-mandated services, opened. Rates varied across districts, ranging from a low of 1.6 to a high of 27.9 for every 1,000 children in the district.

Things to Consider:

• How often does your district connect families to services outside of a preventive case? To community-based preventive services?

• What factors determine whether or not preventive services are offered?

• How many of your preventive case openings are related to PINS/JD?

• Analysis Tip:• Presented rates are based on children served, not families. For example, if a single preventive

case is opened for a family of five (one parent, four children), all four children are counted in the presented rate.

• Preventive services cases are defined using program choice as indicated in CONNECTIONS. This includes all children with preventive service cases newly opened whether preventive or preventive/protective. Protective, foster care, and non-LDSS custody are excluded.

Question 3: Children with Substantiated CPS Allegations ReportedAfter Preventive Case Opening

Question: What percentage of children experience a substantiated allegation within 12 or 24 months of their preventive case opening?

Answer: Statewide, of the children who had a preventive services case opened in 2015, 15.7% were victims of a substantiated incident of abuse/maltreatment within 12 months of their case opening (Figure 3a). For children with a case opening in 2014, 23.3% had a substantiated incident within 24 months (Figure 3b).

Things to Consider:

• See: # of Children with a Preventive Services Case Opening per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 2)

• See: # of Children with a Substantiated CPS Allegation per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 1b)

• How well do preventive services fit a family's needs? Are the services individualized? Are they offered on a long enough basis?

• How many of your preventive case openings are related to PINS/JD? How many of your substantiated allegations are coming after the preventive case was closed? Who is the reporter on these substantiated allegations? Are they mandated or non-mandated?

• Analysis Tip: Outcomes for this indicator are child-based, not case-based.

Question 4: Children Admitted to Foster Care after Preventive Case Opening

Question: What percentage of children enter foster care within 12 or 24 months of their preventive case opening?

Answer: Statewide, in 2015, 6.1% of children who had preventive case opened experienced a new foster care admission within 12 months of their case opening (Figure 4a). For children whose case opened in 2014, 9.2% were admitted to foster care within 24 months (Figure 4b).

Things to Consider:

• See: # of Children with Preventive Services Case Opening per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 2)

• See: # of Children Admitted to Foster Care per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 7a)

• How well do preventive services fit a family's needs? Are the services individualized? Are they offered on a long enough basis?

• How many of your preventive case openings are related to PINS/JD?

• Analysis Tip: Outcomes for this indicator are child-based, not case-based.

Safety

Question: How often do children experience a recurrence of substantiated maltreatment within a one-year period? (CFSR Safety Outcome 2)

Answer: Statewide, of all the children identified as confirmed victims of abuse/maltreatment during federal fiscal year 2015, 18.1% (N=11,844) were identified as a confirmed victim in one or more additional CPS reports within 12-months.

Things to Consider:

• See: # of Children with Preventive Services Case Opening per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 2)

• See: # of Children with a Substantiated CPS Allegation per 1,000 Children in District (Figure 1b)

• How timely are determinations made?

• Is incident date being accurately entered for every substantiated allegation?

For More Information: See CFSR County packets for break outs by child age, gender, race.Additonally, you may request your county level data file and explore whether (a) children who experienced reccurrence were provided preventive or protective service and (b) the type of maltreatment substantiated was the same or different across reports.

Safety

Question: How many indicated CPS reports (based on report date) are received on children living in foster care each year (CFSR Safety Outcome 1)?

Answer: In federal fiscal year 2016, 15.9 indicated CPS reports were received for every 100,000 days of foster care services provided statewide.

Things to Consider:

• If incident date is not provided, report date is used to determine whether the incident occurred during a foster care episode. Disclosures of past abuse may therefore be flagged as maltreatment in-care if the incident date is not properly entered into Connections.

• What support services and trainings are provided to foster parents?

• Are parents provided support during parenting times?

• How frequently are children who are not related placed in the same foster home?

• Analysis Tip: This is a report, not child-based, measure. If a child appears in more than one indicated report, both reports are counted.

For More Information: See CFSR County packets for break outs by foster care placement type, perpetrator, child demographics.

Foster Care

Question: How many children were admitted to foster care in 2016? How many children were residing in foster care on the last day of the year?

Answer: In 2016, 1.6 out of every 1,000 children statewide were admitted to foster care (Figure 7a). The rate of children in foster care on any given day is higher, with approximately 3.0 out of every 1,000 children statewide living in foster care on 12/31/16 (see Figure 7b).

Things to Consider:

• How are your foster care rates impacted by your rate of substantiated CPS reports (Figure 1b)? The availability of preventive services (Figure 2)? Permanency outcomes (Figure 11)?

• Note: Rates for Figures 7a and 7b are calculated using population estimates for children under 22 as children can be in foster care up to the age of 21.

For More Information: See 2016 Monitoring and Analysis Profiles (MAPs)

Foster Care

Question: Where are children placed when they first enter foster care? How do these placement settings change over time?

Answer: These children can be sorted into three types of placements: Home-Based Care, Congregate Care, and Other Placements. First, consider all of the children admitted to foster care in CY 2016 (See Total Admission to Foster Care in Figure 7a). Just over two-thirds (66.7%) of children entering foster care in 2016 were initially admitted to a home-based setting (i.e., foster boarding home or approved relative home) (Figure 8a).

Now consider all children in foster care on 12/31/16 (See Figure 7b). Home-based care remained the most common setting type for children in-care on 12/31/16, and was higher than that observed for new admissions at 80.2% (Figure 8b). Conversely, the percentage of children living in congregate settings was lower for all children in-care (17.4%) than new admissions (31.6%).

Things to Consider:

• How does the percentage of children in home-based settings differ between your admission and in-care sample? Is congregate care more common for children newly admitted or those in care for longer periods of time? Why?

• Other Placements include SILPs and all other placement settings.

Question: How many children avoid foster care by being placed directly with a relative/other guardian via Article 1017?

Answer: Statewide, 2,038 children were placed directly with a relative through Article 1017 in 2016. Utilization of the 1017 option varied tremendously across districts, with the total number of direct placements ranging from a low of 0 to a high of 584.

Things to Consider:

• How does the number of Direct Placements compare to your district's foster care admission rate (Figure 7a)?

• How might the use of Direct Placements impact your evaluation of your district's ability to place children in home-based settings (Figure 8)? In relative care (Figure 10)?

Foster Care

Question: What percentage of children entering foster care are initially placed with a relative? Of all children in care, what percentage were living with a relative on 12/31/16?

Answer: In 2016, 19.3% (N=1,613) of children entering foster care statewide were initially placed with a relative (i.e., in an approved Relative Home Foster Home or a Foster Boarding Home in which the foster parent was a relative). On 12/31/16, the total number of children known to be living with a relative was higher (N=3,323) and the percentage was slightly higher (20.5%), due to the larger number of children in-care.

Things to Consider:

• Does your district use Direct Placements (Article 1017) instead of placing a child into relative-based foster care? (see Figure 9)

• Is your district always entering the relative caregiver code when a foster parent is a relative?

• Analysis Tip: Figure 10b may underestimate the percentage of children living with a relative, as only children in approved relative foster homes are included. Children living in regular foster boarding homes where the foster parent is also a relative are not included, as the element used to track this is new to Connections and therefore not reliably available for children admitted to foster care prior to 2015.

For More Information: See 2016 Trends in Relative Care and 2016 Monitoring and Analysis Profiles (MAPs)

Permanency

Question 11: Children Obtaining PermanencyQuestion: What percentage of children in foster care are discharged to permanency? How do these percentages differ by length of time in care?

Answer: Statewide, 35.9% (N=3,017) of children admitted to foster care between 4/1/14 and 3/31/15 were discharged to permanency within 12 months (Figure 11a). For children in care between 12 and 23 months on 4/1/16, 27.2% (N=1,084) were discharged to permanency within a year (Figure 11b). Among children in care for more than 24 months, 29.4% (N=2,104) obtained permanency within the next year (Figure 11c).

Among children admitted to foster care between 4/1/14 and 3/31/15 who were discharged to permanency within 12 months, 10.1% (N=301) re-entered foster care (Figure 11d).

Things to Consider:

• How might foster care admission rate (Figure 7a) impact the risk/needs level of children served and subsequent permanency outcomes?

For More Information: See CFSR County packets for break outs by child age, gender, race.

Adoption

Question: How long does it take for children to be adopted after being freed? How many have been waiting for a year or more to be adopted?

Answer: For children adopted in 2016, the statewide median time to adoption from freed date was 10.6 months (Figure 12a). Time varied considerably across districts, from a low of 2.1 to a high of 36.1 months.

On 12/31/16, there were 1,921 freed children living in foster care statewide. 46.0% (N=883) had been freed and awaiting adoption for a year or more (Figure 12b).

Things to Consider:

• What factors might contribute to your district having a faster or slower time to adoption than others?

• Analysis Tips: How many children are contributing to your adoption outcomes? Compare your mean and median time to adoption. Cases that move extremely quickly or very slowly impact average time, but not the median.
