Performance Report 2008

In addition to providing information regarding child, safety, permanency, and well-being, the 2008 Annual Performance Report tells stories about children and families impacted by the Children's Administration and how our work is making a difference in their lives.

The 2008 report marks the last report developed using the Administration's previous data management system and there may be a break in data available for some outcome measures in future reports. This also marks our first fully electronic report. In an effort to practice good stewardship of state resources, we will make the report available electronically and can help those who need the report in other formats to obtain them.

The Administration has printed one page brochures titled, Performance Report at a Glance, which contains performance outcome highlights as well as key contact information and the link to the larger report. A printed version of the Performance Report at a Glance is available upon request.

To obtain copies of the Performance Report at a Glance brochures, or to offer feedback about the Children's Administration Annual Performance Report Report, please contact Marianne K. Ozmun at ozmk300@dshs.wa.gov or 360/902-7928.
