to the House Health and Human Services Committee. By January 1st of every

the departmentâs annual equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) report
in collaboration with county departments. This includes reporting on the
stateâs progress in addressing data challenges in the child welfare case
management system and progress in training child welfare staff on demographic
data collection. The CDHS must also strengthen EDI training for child welfare

outcomes.
