SRS OUTCOMES
Earlier this year, a Performance Improvement Team was charged with developing overlying outcomes of what SRS wants to achieve as an agency. These outcomes are expected to provide strategic direction for agency efforts. This team identified four outcomes that are:
• Reflective of continuous improvement;
• Reflective of the SRS mission/vision;
• Reflective of what SRS needs to know; and
• Comprehensive and represent all parts of the agency.
There are a few critical goals associate with each outcome. Each goal has strategies and key indicators to provide a quick look on improvement efforts. The following pages reflect those outcomes, goals, strategies, and indicators.
AGENCY OUTCOME #1:
Children Thrive
AGENCY GOAL #1:
Children are safe.
Strategies for Goal #1:
- Develop strategic plan with the National Resource Center on Kansas Child Protective Services/Intake and Assessment to review and revise the Kansas CPS system: including safety and risk definitions, implementation of safety plans, and intervention needs required to ensure the safety of children.
- Connect families to supportive resources in their own communities.
- Engage families in the development and implementation of plans to ensure ongoing safety of their children
- Institute a compliance review process by July 1, 2006, that determines if community disability service providers are furnishing direct care staff the necessary information and training regarding how to correctly report and handle suspected instances of abuse, neglect and exploitation.
- Provide community disability service providers with technical assistance regarding the correct reporting and handling of suspected instances of abuse, neglect and exploitation.
- Conduct home visits by Community Supports and Services’ quality assurance program to ensure families and direct care staff are educated regarding maintaining a safe environment for children.
