Introduction
• Like other jurisdictions around the world, Manitoba has become increasingly interested in how we assess and measure the well-being of our children.
• This interest is particularly critical in the child welfare field, where the state has assumed parental responsibility for the care of children and therefore, responsibility for their well-being.
![Page 3: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Challenges
• The issues that bring children to the attention of child welfare agencies are multi-dimensional, which adds to the complexity of defining and measuring child well-being.
• Child welfare agencies may be reluctant to measure child well-being, given that the issues that result in many children coming to the attention of child welfare are issues that have likely already compromised their well-being.

Methodology for Demonstration Project
• Looked at School Performance and Social Skills data for all children in care at one child welfare agency in Manitoba.
• Demonstration data only, to illustrate capacity of the windows, based on one agency.

Manitoba’s Approach
![Page 11: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

National Outcome Measures Project
• The National Outcome Measures Project originated with the provincial Directors of Child Welfare across Canada.
• Intent of this Canadian initiative is to measure multi-dimensional child welfare outcomes in four domains (Trocmé, Nutter, MacLaurin, & Fallon, 1999):
– Child safety– Child well being– Permanence– Family and community support
![Page 12: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Child Welfare Outcome Indicator Matrix*
• Child Safety– Recurrence of Maltreatment– Serious Injuries/Death
• Child Well Being– School Performance– Child Behavior
• Permanence– Moves in Care– Admission to Care– Time to Achieving Permanent Placement
• Family and Community Support– Family Moves– Aboriginal Placement Matching– Parenting Capacity
* Trocmé, Nutter, MacLaurin, & Fallon, 1999

Informed by Other Models
• Looking After Children (LAC) is a UK-based approach to working with children in care which measures a child’s developmental progress in seven dimensions:
– health– education– identity– family and social relationships– social presentation skills– emotional and behavioral development– self-care
![Page 14: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

InformationTechnology
• The Child and Family Services Information System (CFSIS) for Manitoba is a comprehensive case tracking system that was designed in 1993 to facilitate the tracking of children and families served, as well as reporting on the services being provided.
• The Intake Module, which began in 2004, functions in conjunction with CFSIS to provide standardized recording of intake information throughout the province as required by legislation.
![Page 15: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Social Skills

Data Collection and Measurement
• The applications create unique person records which may be attached to multiple intakes or CFSIS cases.
• CFSIS has a total of 436 tables which collect data from 3372 separate data fields.
• Any mix of this data can be produced in an ad hoc query.
![Page 20: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Data Collection and Measurement
• Information related to child well-being is updated annually.
• All well-being windows have 2 print functions. One will print a blank form that workers can print off to have filled out by foster parent, teacher, etc.
• The other print function shows all the data that has been entered.
![Page 21: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Benefits of Approach• Child-specific data gathered by those who
know the child best.
• Capacity to compare for each unique child with himself/herself over time (facilitates case planning and intervention for children who may need assistance in school performance or social skills development).
• Capacity for aggregate comparisons across agencies, regions, cultural groups, legal statuses, placement type, etc.
![Page 22: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Limitations of Approach
• Data may be affected by:
– accurate data entry,– consistent definitions of terms,– how long the worker/teacher/foster parent has
worked with the child, – how well the worker/teacher/foster parent
knows the child,– turnover of staff, changes in placement, school
changes,– behavioral/emotional issues that interfere with
child’s expression of abilities.
![Page 23: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Limitations of Approach
• Measurement may be affected by changes in child-in-care population due to:
– new admissions to care, – discharges from care, – children reaching age of majority.
![Page 24: Innovations in Measuring Outcomes in Children’s School Performance and Social Functioning Manitoba’s Child Well-Being Windows Presenters: Linda Burnside.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649edc5503460f94bec2c6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

School Performance

School Performance for Children in Care
• Several studies have found that youth in care are less likely to perform at age-appropriate grade level than their peers (e.g. Carey, Concannon & Goldschmidt, 1990).
• Research has also shown that children in care are less likely to graduate from high school (e.g. Barth, 2000; Westat, 1994; Roos, Brownell, & MacWilliam, 2007).

School Performance
• A recent study of children in care involved with LAC found that 25% of youth were below an age appropriate grade level (Kufeldt, Simard, Tite & Vachon, 2003)
