Description
Researchers from the University of Kansas's School of Social Welfare conducted a study to assess the impact of the Enhanced Child Placement (ECAP) program on outcomes for children and families. This pre/post analysis evaluated placements made through ECAP against those made without its assistance. The findings of this research are summarized below. Additionally, the team examined over 22,000 historical placement records to determine how specific characteristics influence placement stability. In light of these findings, ECAP's algorithms were refined to enhance its effectiveness even further. The Family and Child Team (FCT) is engaged in ongoing research projects that aim to deepen our comprehension of how placement matching correlates with improved outcomes for children and families. To ensure continuous improvement, we collaborate with experts from our Research Advisory Board, leveraging predictive analytics to mitigate trauma for children and families nationwide by enhancing the ECAP program. As we progress, our commitment to refining our methods remains unwavering, ensuring that we align with the best practices in child welfare.
Description
Fostering Connect serves as a comprehensive communication and administration platform tailored for fostering agencies, foster carers, and social workers. The mobile application enables carers to easily create and submit daily logs via text or voice, save drafts for later completion, and communicate through messages and voice notes with agency personnel. Additionally, users can review, e-sign documents, register for training sessions, manage appointments, submit expense claims, and upload photos and notes that contribute to a child's life narrative. Carers also have access to agency-specific handbooks and a variety of resources through a customizable knowledge base. On the agency side, the administrative platform facilitates the review of carer logs, monitors document completion, manages training registrations and attendance, oversees expense evaluations, generates reports, and streamlines case-management workflows while managing user permissions. Designed for both iOS and Android, Fostering Connect aims to enhance routine communication and efficient record-keeping among carers, social workers, and agency teams, ultimately improving the overall fostering experience. The platform’s user-friendly interface and multifaceted features work together to simplify processes and strengthen collaboration within the fostering community.
