Changing the Course for Infants and Toddlers: A Survey of State Child Welfare Policies and Initiatives

The Survey of State Child Welfare Agency Initiatives for Maltreated Infants and Toddlers, conducted from September 2012 to March 2013, asked state child welfare agency representatives to respond to questions regarding the policies and practices that guide their work in addressing the needs of infants and toddlers who have been maltreated. This report by ZERO TO THREE and Child Trends reviews key findings from the survey, and implications for policy and practice.

The report includes an index of state policies and practices.
