Consultation

The Colorado Disparities Resource Center (CDRC) will engage consultants from the Child Welfare Research Center at the School of Social Welfare at the University of California, Berkeley, which has developed a resource for California’s Department of Social Services showing county-level service disparities across the state.

To aid in the process of developing both a CDRC coordinator role and the functions that will be needed to support the efforts of the project, the CDRC will consult with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (TDFPS). TDFPS has developed an infrastructure of staff, information and evaluation resources to reduce disparities in services, which can serve as a model for Colorado.
