This report was created to help Washington better understand how children served by the state child welfare system are faring in the areas of safety, permanency, and well-being & education. It was developed as a result of two pieces of legislation passed in 2013 (HB 1774 and HB 1566), which together, require a single, comprehensive performance report on the child welfare system. The report is divided into three main sections: Safety, Permanency, and Well-Being & Education. Each section has several different measures, such as the rate of overall CPS reports, the runaway rate for children in out-of-home care and the third grade literacy rate for children in foster care.
