Culture of SafetyThree key transitions:
1. From a culture of blame to a culture of accountability;2. From continuously applying quick fixes to addressing underlying systemic issues; and3. From seeing employees as a problem to control to a solution to harness.

Being Good Stewards of an
Unprecedented Opportunity
The Family First Prevention Services Act: A Key Lever in Kentucky’s Child Welfare Transformation
![Page 14: CHILD WELFARE TRANSFORMATION - Welcome 3… · TRANSFORMATION. Time for Change •Increasing number of kids in care •Focus on child welfare system •House Bills 1 and 200 (Regular](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022063007/5fbad555b5370e38a03f2d49/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
You can tell a lot about people, businesses,
organizations, etc. in how they spend their
money. Where are our priorities?$476M on OOHC $18M on prevention services
![Page 15: CHILD WELFARE TRANSFORMATION - Welcome 3… · TRANSFORMATION. Time for Change •Increasing number of kids in care •Focus on child welfare system •House Bills 1 and 200 (Regular](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022063007/5fbad555b5370e38a03f2d49/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Of the $18M spent on family preservation and
prevention services, 96% of those families remained
together and did not result in a child being removed
from the home.
Why does it take a traumatic event thatleads to the child being removed fromtheir home in order for us to respond?

The narrative is changing…
Government alone isn’t child welfare...
We are all child welfare.
