CWDS is a collaboration of California state and local government agencies that supports our customers through technology to assure the safety, permanency, and well-being of children at risk of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. CWDS maintains and operates the existing Child Welfare Services / Case Management System (CWS/CMS), including implementation of operational changes to that system. In the context of the (CWS-CARES) Project, CWDS is developing a new technology platform and set of digital services that will be rolled out and trained incrementally over the next few years.
