This report presents an assessment of the performance of New York City's child welfare system in meeting its responsibilities to investigate and respond to reports of child abuse and neglect; provide services to children and families to prevent children's entry into foster care whenever possible; provide services to children while in foster care; and ensure that children in foster care exit care in a timely fashion to grow up in permanent families. These are the essential functions of a public child welfare agency. In New York City, the Administration for Children's Services (ACS) is the public child welfare agency responsible for these functions, in conjunction with the New York City Family Court.
Whether childcare is seen as part of society's educational policy, welfare policy, or employment policy affects not only its form and content but also its public image. The contributors in this volume use current polices for the care of infants and preschool children to analyze debates and track the emergence of new state welfare practices across a variety of social and political configurations-and offer some conclusions about which methods work the best.
