Module 4:
Promoting the Well Being of Children in Substitute Care
This module is designed to be a six hour training that focuses on achieving placement stability for children in care. The module provides information on how this outcome can be integrated into daily casework and performance tools that help casework professionals better manage toward this outcome. This module was developed specifically for the Illinois child welfare system; however, the material can be adapted and used for child welfare systems outside of Illinois. The module has not been updated since March, 2005 so the data used in the section 'Understanding Your Performance Data' is out dated. Likewise, the 'agency performance data' that is mentioned in this training module is no longer available. Agencies would need to replace this entire section with their own current data. This training module is considered beginner to intermediate level. It is designed for staff at the field level.

PROMOTING THE WELL BEING OF CHILDREN IN SUBSTITUTE CARE
Handout #4:
Sample Tool-- .xls
Performance
Tool--
.xls
This tool is discussed during Section 6 of the training. It was designed to keep a
chronological log of the moves that a child experiences during his/her time in the foster
care system. This tool works most effectively if an agency can download client
information automatically into the tool instead of recording the information manually.
The tool shows all of the placement moves that a child has experienced from the time
he/she came into the system. The tool automatically calculates the days in placement
based on the 'date in' and 'date out' that are entered. The tool also shows stability
in relationship to the workers that have been assigned to the case, the different cities
the child has lived, and whether the child has been placed with any of his/her siblings
in the different placements. This tool provides workers with a quick glance of the moves
a child has experienced during his/her time in the system. It also enables workers to
see trends related to movement. Workers can utilize the tool with numerous reports
including court, ACRs, and assessments. This tool can be given to participants during
the training on a disk so that they can use with their own their cases. This tool is
not completed during the training.
The document listed as 'sample tool' has sample information included in the
form. This can be given to participants as an example of how the form is actually
completed. The document listed as 'performance tool' is blank.
