Child and Family Well-Being Insights
The South Carolina Depart­ment of Social Ser­vices is building its prevention services. By pro­vid­ing ear­li­er sup­port and ser­vices to families through the multi-year program Thriving Families, Safer Children, the department aims to avoid involving the child pro­tec­tion system in family problems.
Predictive analytics, or the use of historical data to forecast future outcomes, is increasingly used in social services and education to identify people who could most benefit from targeted interven­tions. MDRC, a research organization, and Child First, a home visiting pro­gram that provides therapeutic support and services to families with young children, studied how predictive analytics could improve home delivery services.
