Commissioner’s Monthly Report

July 2020

Commissioner

Christine Beyer

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted all aspects of life and work in New Jersey.

Statewide efforts to prevent and mitigate community spread have been all-encompassing. Through

Executive Orders, Governor Phil Murphy directed all New Jersey residents to stay home, closing schools

and non-essential businesses and cancelling all gatherings.1 As more has become known about COVID-

19’s methods of transmission, a clearer picture has emerged about crucial precautionary measures,

including social distancing, the use of personal protective equipment and cleaning regimens.

Like all other aspects of life in New Jersey, the child welfare system has been significantly impacted by

the public health crisis. The extraordinary circumstances of the present emergency have required DCF’s

operations to be responsive and evolutionary. We have changed the way that we conduct our work

while remaining dutiful to our critical mission of service to New Jersey’s children and their families.

In the early weeks of the pandemic, DCF closed 46 local offices, restricted access to 9 area offices, and

moved 16 regional schools and 2 DCF-operated, hospital-based satellite schools to remote learning.

DCF’s Office of Information and Technology converted the majority of our 6,700 staff members to remote

work. DCF altered practices and policies that guide our daily interactions with children, families, our own

staff and partner providers: DCF set up COVID-19 response teams to respond to child protective service

investigations and complete home visits on select cases; requirements for in-person visits between

parents and children, children and their siblings and caseworkers and families were temporarily

suspended in favor of telephonic and video conferencing communication; timeframes for critical

practices, such as case plans and family team meetings, were similarly temporarily suspended.2 After the

enactment of new legislation permitting telemedicine and telehealth services, DCF authorized the

provision of many outpatient, in-home and community-based services via remote technology.3 DCF

learned to operate in a court system that was transitioning from in-person hearings to virtual

proceedings.4

The data contained in this report shows marked shifts in measures of performance in certain areas of

casework, most notably measurements related to in-person visitation and family team meetings. When

reviewing this data, it is important to recognize: while the operating rules and expectations have

undergone swift and significant changes, the metrics included in this report have not yet been altered to

measure the new, revised practice expectations. In other words, DCF is sharing “post-COVID-19” data

using “pre-COVID-19” performance metrics. For some measures, the underlying processes have been

temporarily suspended, i.e., in-person visitation between caseworkers, parents, and children. While the

data shows the declines in in-person visits, it may not account for supplemental virtual visits via video

conferencing or for phone communications, which DCF’s electronic case management system is being

updated to capture. For other measures, the rapid conversion to remote work resulted in data entry

issues related to connectivity. While this has improved with time, documentation for completed work is

still being entered in DCF’s case management system. Additionally, we know that not all families possess

the technology required to participate in remote visits, teleconferences, and electronic hearings. As DCF

and the Administrative Office of the Courts provide greater access to families, their ability to participate

in these types of activities will increase.

As the needs of children and families in New Jersey change in light of the health and economic impacts

of the COVID-19 pandemic, DCF’s operations, practice standards, policies, and resources will continue

to evolve responsively and reflectively. DCF will not, however, change our commitment to continued

monitoring of performance and transparent dissemination of data to the public.

6 FCP quick facts are based on new families for FSCs, but both new and ongoing clients for Home Visiting and SBYSP. DoW quick facts are based on new clients for DV Services, but both new

and ongoing clients served for SAARC , Displaced Homemakers and Rape Prevention Education.7 The cumulative number of human trafficking referrals between November 2013 and March 2020 was 977. This figure could change depending on when the data is extracted.

3 FCP measures clients served in SBYSP and DV Services. Since Family Success Centers and Home Visitation programs report data in terms of families served, each family is assumed to have at

least one client.4 Families served by DCF includes CP&P families and FCP families. FCP families served data has a one month lag. 5 CSOC Children may receive multiple services and are counted multiple times.

FSCs: Families Served 9 (December)

8 Appropriate use of shelters include 1) alternative to detention 2) short term placement of an adolescent in crisis not to extend beyond 30 days 3) a basic center for homeless youth.

2 The definition for "Youth Open with CSOC" reflects youth who are involved and eligible to receive services through CSOC.

1 Some children may be served by both CP&P and CSOC and are over-represented in the final count of children served in the month.

5 The terms “out-of-home” and “in-home” may not be appropriate for all 18-21 year olds. Youth identified as “in-home”

can either be residing with a parent/relative, or living independently. Any of these youth may be receiving services. These

definitions are currently being reviewed to better understand how we capture DCF’s work with this population. The goal

of this ongoing work is to create three meaningful categories for 18-21 year olds 1) Youth in a formal out-of-home

placement setting, 2) Youth that achieved permanency, and 3) Youth that never achieved permanency.
