The First Annual Performance Report on the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency
This first-of-its-kind state report describes the performance of New Jersey’s child protective services system, operated by the New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (DCP&P) within the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF), and to make recommendations on how to improve it.
This report was required by state law, and it measures DCP&P’s performance in providing direct services to children and families, its staff, and operations. SORS organized most of the performance measures on children and families in an easy-to-read chart called the ‘Four Pillars.’
