Learning from child-safety decisions

How should the County evaluate its repeated-referral review threshold while protecting children’s confidential information?

The jury questions the rationale and efficacy of reviewing a case after four evaluated-out referrals within twelve months. This discussion asks what protected analysis and public explanation could support evaluation; it does not presume a different threshold would be safer.

Why this matters

Screening policies need meaningful evaluation without exposing individual families.
