This request is for an evaluation of five child welfare agencies implementing a continuous quality improvement process called the Breakthrough Series Collaborative, which aims to improve father and paternal relative engagement in the child welfare system for the Fathers and Continuous Learning in Child Welfare Project.

The information collected will include interviews with participating agency staff, key partners, and community stakeholders (Instrument 1), focus groups or interviews with fathers and paternal relatives of children with involvement in the child welfare system (Instrument 2), and web surveys of participating agency and partner staff (Instrument 3).
