QAF Information for Agency Leadership

QAF questionnaires are used to identify areas of need and to measure how caseworker practices are uplifting outcomes of the children they care for. The questionnaires can be used in two ways:

  1. On an informal basis by caseworkers who may like to include additional as evidence to decision making and casework planning.
  2. Your agency or site may wish to use the questionnaires more formally across your teams.

The resources to support each are listed below.
