While racial inequity in child welfare is a wide-spread issue, disproportionality in Travis County far exceeds the rest of the state. The Child Welfare Race Equity Collaborative confronts and acknowledges the racial disparities in our community through building awareness, providing education, advocacy and holding systems accountable.
This virtual presentation is designed to help the attendee:
- Understand racial inequities in the child welfare system.
- Learn about Rider 14 disproportionality data and how children of color, particularly African American children have worse outcomes in Travis County.
- Understand the history of the Child Welfare Race Equity Collaborative and learn about upcoming community conversations.
- Discover how you can participate and how you can confront racial disparities in child welfare.
