 Final Report: New
Jersey Child and Family Services Review
This document
presents the findings of the Child and Family Services Review (CFSR)
for the State of New Jersey for the period October 1, 2002 through
March 22, 2004. The CFSR assesses State performance on seven child
welfare outcomes pertaining to children's safety, permanency,
and well being and on seven systemic factors related to the State's
capacity to achieve positive outcomes for children and families.
The New Jersey CFSR was conducted the week of March 22, 2004. The
New Jersey CFSR found that the State is not in substantial
conformity with any of the seven child welfare outcomes assessed
through the CFSR. The three areas of greatest concern pertained to
Safety Outcome 2 (Children are safely maintained in their homes
when possible and appropriate), Permanency Outcome 1 (Children
have permanency and stability in their living situations), and
Well-Being Outcome 1 (Families have enhanced capacity to provide
for children's needs).
