This checklist describes all the required elements of tribes' fiscal year 2019 Annual Progress and Services Reports (APSRs)

The Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) regulations went into effect August 1, 2016. CCWIS regulations require Title IV-E agencies to provide agency-owned software upon request to the Administration of Children and Families (ACF) so that it may be shared with and re-used by other Title IV-E agencies. In order for Title IV-E agencies to adhere to these regulations, the Children’s Bureau’s (CB) Division of State Systems (DSS) developed the C-SWAP site, a repository for Title IV-E agencies to share: CCWIS and non-CCWIS child welfare-related modules, systems, Advance Planning Documents (APD), procurement documents, and other project documents (such as research materials).

This issue of Child and Family Services Reviews Update contains the following sections: New CFSR Overview Video, CFSR Unit Court Child Welfare Specialist, and Round 3 Year 4 States’ CFSRs.
