	Announcing A New Child Welfare Plan, “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy”
	We are excited to announce a new Colorado Child Welfare Plan, “Keeping Kids Safe and Families Healthy.” The new plan will include a common practice approach for all 64 counties, a new performance measurement system, re-designed employee training strategies, funding reform, and increased transparency.
	“We have engaged the community and the stakeholders throughout this entire process to create a more efficient design for the way services are delivered in Colorado. Every decision we make in implementing this plan has the safety and well-being of children and their families at the forefront.”
	This is not a finalized process; certain details will continue to be shaped as the plan evolves. “Our goals will not change. However, the paths we take to reach those goals will be continuously analyzed and adapted to ensure that we have the best system possible for kids and their families.”
