Planning Council Supports Quality Services for Children and Families

Did you know that…
• From June 2005 through December 2009, the Ombudsman Office received 544 complaints?
• In 2009, 81% of complaint findings affirm the actions of the Bureau?
• 52% of recommendations in 2009 were systemic?

The Office of the Milwaukee Ombudsman for Child Welfare (Ombudsman Office) is a free, public service that conducts objective, impartial, and independent reviews of case-specific concerns regarding the safety, permanence, and well-being of children and families involved with the Bureau of Milwaukee Child Welfare (Bureau). To learn more about areas for improvement, contacts for services, and review findings, visit our website at http:\\www.planningcouncil.org to view the 2009 Annual Report.

The Planning Council has also released its 2009 Annual Report. This can also be found on the Planning Council’s website.
