BoardArizona Department of Child Safety Strategic Plan 2025-2029
This strategic plan outlines the Arizona Department of Child Safety's direction from 2025 to 2029, aiming to ensure children thrive in family environments free from abuse and neglect. Key priorities include increasing connections to primary prevention programs, enhancing permanency for children in out-of-home care, reducing re-reports among families receiving in-home services, strengthening workforce development and retention, and increasing the utilization of family-like care settings to reduce reliance on congregate care. The plan seeks to achieve these through strategic partnerships, prevention, and comprehensive support services for families and children.
