Lead Measure 1b: Days Between Referral for Services and Prevention Strategy (Case Plan Development)

Why is this lead baseline measure important? Essential for ensuring that families receive timely and effective support, which can accelerate more successful reunifications, improve outcomes, reduce the child's time away from home, and enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of child welfare systems. What is significant about this graph? The average number of days from referral to prevention strategy remains consistently under ten days throughout this period. There is no indication from this data that there is a delay in referral for services and prevention strategy. It should also be noted that the number of cases does not necessarily have a visible impact on the number of days between referral and prevention strategy.
