Through reports, forecasts, estimates, and the development of other analytical products, the Analytics Office enables effective operational and strategic planning and decision making.

Description

The Ministry of Children and Family Development’s primary focus is to support all children and youth in British Columbia to live in safe, healthy and nurturing families and be strongly connected to their communities and culture. The Ministry supports the well-being of children, youth and families in British Columbia by providing services that are accessible, inclusive, and culturally respectful.

The Ministry has long recognized the need to go beyond tracking outputs, focusing instead on actionable reporting to best support the well-being of children and families it serves. This presentation will review the evolution of the Ministry’s outcomes reporting and discuss its current initiative of developing a child well-being analytics framework that is child centric.
