The Accountability Dialogues modeled a process for the co-design of policies to improve the lives of adult and child survivors of domestic violence who are involved with the child welfare system. In this three-part series, policymakers had the opportunity to hear directly from DV survivors about their experiences with the child welfare system and to learn from them about specific touchpoints that require new ways of seeing and working. Read the policy recommendations that emerged from the Accountability Dialogues – for the Children’s Bureau, the White House Gender Policy Council, Congress, the Judiciary and Family Courts, and States, Tribes, Territories, and Child Welfare Agencies.
