Colorado’s 2009 Child & Family Services Review Report
November 15, 2009 The 2009 federal Child and Family Services Review of child welfare services provided by the Colorado Department of Human Services (DHS) was conducted during the week of March 16, 2009. The Children's Bureau conducted an on-site review and analyzed 65 case records dating from October 1, 2007, through March 20, 2009. In 40 of the cases, the children were in foster care; the remaining 25 children received in-home services. The review team concluded that that DHS lacked consistency and accountability for child welfare services; in 35% of cases it failed to meet federal standards . . .
