Lunch & Learn: Data-informed Decision Making

October 20, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Join us for a discussion with a panel of child welfare data experts to discuss how real-time data has the power to make sweeping changes to Texas’ child protection system in the face of our ongoing CPS crisis.

Investing and advocating for these measures in the 88th Legislative Session is essential to increasing CPS’ transparency, accountability and effectiveness. And, with more community providers bearing the responsibility of localized child welfare, real-time, relevant data is imperative in informing the public, legislators and stakeholders of the most urgent needs of children and families in Texas.
