February 2014Vol. 15, No. 2CQI E-Training Module

The Administration for Children and Families(ACF) released an Information Memorandum (IM) in August 2012 providing State title IV-B and IV-E child welfare agencies with information about establishing and maintaining continuous quality improvement (CQI) systems. To help States with creating and/or implementing these systems, a new e-training module on CQI in child welfare provides an introduction to CQI and its benefits and information on leadership qualities necessary for an effective CQI sysem, the five key components for a successful CQI system—modeled after the five points outlined in the ACF IM—implementing CQI in child welfare, and additional resources.
