ChildNet is the private, not for profit organization created to manage the child welfare system in Broward County. Our mission is to protect abused, abandoned and neglected children in the communities we serve. ChildNet directly provides case management, independent living and adoption services. It also ensures the delivery of a comprehensive local system of care by subcontracting with more than 30 social service agencies to provide a full array of child welfare services. These include family preservation and strengthening, residential group and shelter care and foster home management. Our system of care was developed with extensive input from local stakeholders and its effective implementation depends upon their continued support.

Vision:

ChildNet will lead every child in our care to safety, permanence, and stability.

Mission:

To protect abused, abandoned and neglected children in the communities we serve.

Core Values:

• ChildNet uses a family-centered, strength-based, needs-driven approach to promote appropriate services for the children and their caregivers.
• Field staff and their immediate supervisors are the backbone of ChildNet and ChildNet staff will support them in pursuing their duties in an assertive and proactive fashion.
• ChildNet recognizes that foster and adoptive parents are an essential and invaluable part of the System of Care, and will provide them with comprehensive support services.
• The service provider network is essential to the well being of the children ChildNet serves, and ChildNet staff members will be fair and honest partners in working with them.
• Informed public opinion and support is the key to establishing and maintaining a sound child welfare system; ChildNet will operate openly and actively to seek public participation and support.
