Sec. 3. Purposes. The purposes of this Act are to understand the underlying factors of child welfare system involvement for families; examine the racial disparities of children and families involved in the child welfare system at every key procedural phase of system involvement and the causes of such disparities; and explore resources, policies, and practices that could prevent system entry for families and reduce racial disproportionality at each key procedural phase of system involvement.
