Summary

The bill creates multiple ways to promote equity, diversity, and
inclusion (EDI) in Colorado's child welfare system. The state department
of human services (department) is directed to work with county
departments of human or social services to:
  • Update the existing annual departmental EDI report using
state data sources and national child welfare data
clearinghouses;
  • Identify necessary demographic or other data that is not
currently collected in Colorado's child welfare case
management system (system) and determine
recommendations for improving data collection statewide;
  • Provide a report on the state's progress in addressing data
collection and data entry challenges in the system; and
  • Provide a report on the state's progress in training child
welfare staff on demographic data collection.
The department shall strengthen EDI training for child welfare
staff and management.
The bill requires the department to provide recommendations for
training requirements for other child welfare agencies and to offer
specific EDI training for mandatory reporters to address disparities in
reporting in Colorado's child welfare system.
The department shall use an internal evaluator to evaluate local
policies, rules, or practices and to work with counties on incorporating
EDI principles into their child welfare work.
