About the Community Performance Center
The Colorado Department of Human Services Division of Child Welfare staff, in partnership with the University of Kansas School of Social Work, created this educational website and the data center to share real-time data about the children, youth and families involved in Colorado’s child welfare system in an effort to engage communities in the unmet needs of abused and neglected children in their community and neighborhood.
As a part of an on-going effort to increase transparency and accountability in child welfare in Colorado, CDHS uses data to analyze performance and inform child welfare improvements at the policy, state and county level. The CDHS Community Performance Center includes data regarding C-Stat performance measures, AFCARS measures, and demographics reports regarding children, youth and families involved in Colorado's child welfare system. This online reporting tool provides us with the ability to share more current data with our community partners and analyze it in different ways aimed at creating a better understanding of our many successes and challenges.
While the data center provides a compilation of tables and graphs, each reports tell a story about real children and their families, and how collectively we are achieving goals of safety, permanency, and well-being. We encourage you to explore the numbers and work with state and local staff and other community partners to improve services and the lives of children in your community.
