The Vermont Department for Children and Families (DCF) seeks to partner with a qualified vendor to develop a Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) that fulfills a broad set of objectives. We aim to modernize our technological infrastructure and improve the quality of child welfare and youth justice services we provide. By empowering our caseworkers and engaging with our external partners, we intend to positively impact the lives of the children and families we serve. We are committed to implementing a data-driven and user-centric solution while ensuring compliance with federal standards and eligibility for federal funding. Below, we have outlined the specific desired outcomes that guide this initiative.
