Dept. of Family and Children Services - Child Welfare - County Child Welfare Reports
Scope and Contents
This series contains copies of the County Agreement for Use of Federal Funds for Temporary Care of Children in Boarding Homes (forms DPW 36-1, 36-2 and 36-13), the annual reports prepared by the child welfare consultant of each county, occasional evaluation reports of a selected county's program and related correspondence. Though the format of the annual statistical reports changed over the years, a selected report would contain answer to questions grouped under the following headings: I. Administration II. Children with Own Families (Other than Protective Services) III. Protective Services IV. Battered Child V. Foster Boarding Home Care VI. Emergency Shelter Home Care VII. Other Temporary Foster Care VIII. Unmarried Mothers IX. Adoption Services X. Court Services XI. Juvenile Courts XII. Services Supplementary to Casework XIII. Needs and XIV. Goals. There is also a narrative annual report outlining the year's activities and including goals for the future. Of particular interest are the special investigations of individual county programs and some of the correspondence dealing with hopes for expansion of the child welfare programs often involving key legislators of the area. For County Annual Reports for the Department of Family Services, see Series 6-5 of Subgroup 8, Benefits Payments Division. For records dated after 1972, see Record Group 84, Benefits Payments Division (of the Department of Human Resources), Sub-group 1, Records of the Director's Office, Series 2.

Arrangement Note
The arrangement of these records varies with the time period. Through the 1962 fiscal year, the reports are arranged alphabetically by county. Beginning with the 1963 fiscal year, the reports are grouped by child welfare district number but not in numerical order. Thus after 1962 one must know the geographical makeup of each district in order to find a particular county's report. It is also important to note the erratic box order in the finding aid. The boxes are not in chronological order.
