The Child and Family Services Review (CFSR) is the Federal Government's program for assessing the performance of State child welfare agencies in regard to achieving positive outcomes for children and families. It is authorized by the Social Security Amendments of 1994 requiring the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to promulgate regulations for reviews of State child and family services programs under titles IV-B and IV-E of the Social Security Act. The CFSR is implemented by the Children's Bureau (CB) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within HHS.
The Ohio CFSR was conducted the week of August 18, 2008. The period under review was from April 1, 2007, to August 22, 2008. Results and more information about the CFSR can be found at the below website link.
