Using Data to Advance Racial Equity in Dependency system

This workshop will present strategies for moving beyond acknowledging the problem of disproportionality in child welfare system/court systems to using data to build evidence and engage judicial, legal, child welfare professionals, and other partners to work on strategies to reduce disparities. The workshop will include an interactive discussion centered on ways participants can utilize data to promote equity as a part of continuous quality improvement (CQI). The presenters will demonstrate specific examples that will help participants walk away with concrete ideas for steps they may take in their own work related to equity.

The workshop will demonstrate how to move from data to action: how to plan, put in place, and monitor the impact of interventions to address inequalities.
