Our identities ourselves guide for system administrator

This guide outlines best practices for collecting comprehensive demographic data, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE), national origin, language, disability, religion, and Tribal affiliation in child welfare agencies. The guide aims to provide recommendations for caseworkers and service providers to ask about these identities in accurate, inclusive, and respectful ways, and to help system leaders and data administrators report and use this information more effectively to support young people and families.
