Taking Stock: Assessing Taking Stock: Assessing Strengths/NeedsStrengths/Needs
• Each community,like each family, has unique strengths and needs
• CPPC must build on these• Community assessments must occur--for
example, Cedar Rapids used “geomapping” to analyze geography of CAN/DV reports, then identified overlap areas
• Assets/Needs of area must be assessed

CPS and CPPC: Lessons CPS and CPPC: Lessons Learned from Other StatesLearned from Other States
• All sites use “dual track” system: “investigations” for DFCS cases, “assessment” for community
• Outbasing/geographic assignment of workers led to CPS culture change,both internally and externally.
• Internal CPS change: workers cited “improved relationships with service providers,greater accessibility to services, more informed referral decisions.”
![Page 23: Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC) Andy Kogerma Family Connection Partnership.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649f595503460f94c7ea04/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
CPS and CPPC: Lessons CPS and CPPC: Lessons Learned /Other States (cont)Learned /Other States (cont)• Some CPS staff stated that “outbasing was
the reform mechanism that has affected the greatest change in their practice”.
• External perception change: “provided direct benefits in the relationship between CPS and community residents/clients. Community residents recognize CPS workers on sight, voluntarily providing more information on safety concerns.”

Quotes from CPS WorkersQuotes from CPS Workers
• “ICA is a helpful framework for involving the family more in what they want, not in what we think they want.”
• “I’ve seen it [use of FTMs] change the opinion of a lot of workers who did not come from that perspective.”
• “The view of the agency by others is more positive. I am hopeful now that CPS image will improve. Families can be shown that CPS can help in positive ways.”
