Welcome to the first edition of Technology Today! The aim of this quarterly newsletter is to share the work being done by the Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Technology Taskforce, as well as resources, events, and success stories.
ODP hopes you enjoy the inaugural edition of this newsletter and look for future editions! The Technology Today newsletter is also available on MyODP.
The Office of Children, Youth, & Families (OCYF) has released the 2021 Pennsylvania Annual Child Abuse report. The report may be accessed here as well as through the Child Abuse Reports Page.
While the report continues to provide detailed data for statewide and individual county responses to reports, for the first time, race and ethnicity data was added for substantiated victims and perpetrators. OCYF in its reporting process will continue to refine this information for future reports and have only presented statewide data and not county by county statistics to avoid providing individually identifiable information.
If you have any questions, please contact RCPA Children’s Policy Director Jim Sharp.
RCPA staff and the Conference Committee are gearing up for our long-awaited in-person conference to be held in Hershey, PA, October 11 – 14, 2022! Registration is now open; details on workshops, networking, and more are all available here.
We would also like to thank some of our early sponsors. Thank you for showing your support of our 2022 Conference!
