As the demand for evidence-based practice increases, child welfare professionals need examples of past program successes and details on lessons learned. This section includes links to registries that review and rate specific practices and programs to provide guidance to State, Tribal, county, and local child welfare agencies; community organizations; policymakers; and government entities. A link to evidence-based practice resources from the Child Welfare Information Gateway Library is also included.

Registries 

The following evidence-based practice registries list rated child welfare programs and practices:

California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare
Identifies and disseminates information on evidence-based child welfare practices. Provides guidance on evidence-based practices as a method of achieving improved outcomes of safety, permanency, and well-being for children and families to statewide agencies, counties, public and private organizations, and individuals.

Publications
Children and Family Research Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Presents a searchable database of publications that share findings from the center's various research projects. Users may filter by more than 10 topics and 10 publication types, including bibliographies and literature reviews of best practices.

Offers ratings and reviews of evidence-based programs and services intended to prevent foster care placements by providing enhanced support to children and families. The Prevention Services Clearinghouse was developed in accordance with the Family First Prevention Services Act and rates programs and services as well-supported, supported, promising, or does not currently meet criteria. 
 
Registries rate evidence-based practices according to their own criteria. Child Welfare Information Gateway and the Children's Bureau do not endorse individual registries or the programs they include; the links are provided only as a resource.
