N2 - Reinvigorated efforts to develop performance measures for child welfare services have largely ignored a critical aspect of child welfare outcomes - what happens to children after their involvement with child welfare services ends. The authors present data from studies of post-child welfare services mortality and incarceration to indicate the vital need to incorporate information about post-child welfare services into a broad research agenda and into performance measures. Specific recommendations are advanced about the inclusion of safety indicators in performance indicator schemes.
