Child Welfare

We help states and communities deploy new technologies, develop effective strategies, and transform programs to support the safety, permanency, and well-being for children, youth, and families at risk or involved with the child welfare system.   

Specialist led innovation

Our Child Welfare teams include former investigators, caseworkers, supervisors, policy advisors, and agency leaders who understand the critical role of state child welfare agencies. Dedicating their careers to improving service delivery, case work processes, and outcomes for children and families, our practitioners inform transformation initiatives with real-world experience and insights.

We offer deep experience and a trusted, collaborative approach. Whether it’s process reengineering or program implementation, our suite of capabilities is designed to help our Child Welfare clients tackle challenges associated with child protective services, case management, foster care, adoption, Title IV-E eligibility, and prevention services programs.
