Hearing covers scathing audit of Illinois’ child welfare agency – Center Square

According to the audit, of the 195 instances where a home safety check should have been done and recorded, DCFS was only able to provide three recorded instances of a checklist. State auditors also found cases of children with poorly recorded or missing health care records; They were unable to assess whether the department had accurate records of immunizations because the data provided to them by DCFS failed to meet standards for validity.
