Safe Futures A Plan for Program Improvement - Department of ...

5 th Quarter Report: Survey sampling was conducted which revealed that judges involvement in the PIP varies widely. A few judges
were very involved but most others were not very familiar with the PIP. Surveying has not been done to measure whether judges are
making sure that children and families are involved in their case planning. The last six months have been spent working on adoption
of the CPRS statewide by both judges and caseworkers. The first report from the CPRS, on this data point, shows that of 16,080 case
plans in the system, 11,690 documented that families participated in the development of the case plan.
