12. CA Child Welfare Core Practice Model

13. Towards a Statewide Practice Model • Beginning in 2012 the CWDA Children’s Committee has been working to develop a statewide practice model • Goal: To define California’s Child Welfare Services as a profession grounded in theory, with a set of core values, common elements and identified behaviors

14. Stakeholder Engagement • Statewide and County-level initiatives have been informed by broad stakeholder engagement • Youth,Parents, Caregivers, Tribes, Communities • Results of that engagement have informed the work of the statewide Practice Model development • Further engagement in inviting partners to participate in workshops • Additional engagement will be an essential goal of next steps in the evolution of the Practice Model

15. Guiding Vision • California’s 58 counties embrace one practice model that guides their individual Child Welfare Services programs by integrating successful practices into a framework that supports the achievement of safety, permanency and well-being for children and their families in the Child Welfare Services system.

16. Practice Model Elements

17. PRACTICE BEHAVIORS • There are currently 16 draft practice behaviors • Practice behaviors fall into FIVE practice elements: • Teaming • Engagement • Inquiry and Exploration • Advocacy • Accountability • Workforce Development and Support

18. Next Steps • A guide is for the engagement of stakeholders to give input to practice behaviors • This will be started at the regional children’s meetings [BARCC] • Regions will determine how they are going to engage their partners • Information will go to CalSWEC for compiling then back to the Design Team for review.

26. What is CQI? • CQI is the complete process of identifying, describing and analyzing strengths and problems and then testing, implementing, learning from and revising solutions. It relies on an organizational culture that is proactive and supports continuous learning. CQI is firmly grounded in the overall mission, vision and values of the agency. Perhaps most importantly, it is dependent on the active inclusion and participation of staff at all levels of the agency, children, youth, families and stakeholders throughout the process.
