Insights, Volume II, 2009

December 01, 2009

Insights is a publication examining the links between data, policy and outcomes for California's most vulnerable children and families.  This issue of Insights focuses on permanency for children who are in the child welfare system.

Permanency refers to the need of all children and youth for love, a sense of belonging, and the continuity of family to support and sustain them throughout their lives.  Along with safety and well-being, permanency is one of the three critical outcomes that guide all efforts to provide for children who have been abused or neglected.
