Notes: Safety outcome 2 examines the services that States provide to protect children in their own homes where it is appropriate to do so, and the effectiveness of services in reducing the risk of harm for children in foster care and at home. Among the cases reviewed in 2001 and 2002, the outcome was substantially achieved in 85% of the foster care cases, and in 71% of the in-home services cases.
Note: One reason for the difference in ratings is that the "risk of harm" ratings that are included in this outcome were almost always rated as strengths for children in foster care. Also, where children in foster care entered care prior to the period under review, reviewers could not evaluate the services that were provided to protect them in their own homes.
