Capital Bureau
SALEM — The Oregon
Department of Human
Services might be able
to prevent the abuse of
children in Oregon’s foster
care system by placing their
charges more appropriately
and better coordinating its
response to allegations of
abuse, according to draft of
an outside assessment of the
agency, released Thursday.
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown
charged an External Advi-
sory Committee comprised
of legislators and stake-
holders in the state’s foster
care system with conducting
an independent review of
DHS late last year. The
draft assessment, prepared
by management consul-

funeral service will be held Wednesday, Aug. 30 at 11 a.m. at
the Heppner United Methodist Church. Sweeney Mortuary of
Heppner is in care of arrangements.

tancy Public Knowledge,
LLC, was presented to the
committee Thursday.
The assessment high-
lighted how the agency
could improve its service to
children in state care.
DHS has faced public
scrutiny after high-proile
allegations of abuse at
substitute care facilities,
and is also under ire for
how some incidents were
addressed on an administra-
tive level.
The agency has limited
capacity, the draft report
found, and children are
placed in foster care facil-
ities based on available
space, rather than their
individual needs. Those
facilities, in turn, may not
have enough or appropriate
assistance, especially for
high-need youth. The draft
assessment also found case
workers ask providers to
take in more children than
they are certiied or licensed
to handle.
The assessment also
found that the agency is
inconsistent in investigating
allegations of abuse. The
reporting, screening and
investigating of alleged
abuse in foster care is done
locally and so could yield
different results in different
places.
Information could also
be better shared between
different entities in the
system, the draft assessment
found. At least six lawsuits
against the agency involved
“multiple reports of abuse
that were closed at screening
or never fully investigated.”
When surveyed, youth
in foster care and other
reporters of abuse rated
the reporting system as
“untrustworthy.”
The indings also iden-
tiied “barriers” to making
improvements to the system,
which were split into three
main categories: “unrea-
sonable” caseloads, the
recruitment and retention
of providers and a lack of
adequate data. Reported
abuse of children in foster
care has increased in the
past several years, the report
found.
The External Advisory
Committee includes state
legislators, as well as
care providers and other
stakeholders. It’s chaired
by Clyde Saiki, the head of
DHS.
