About this Unit:
The Administrative Review Division’s (ARD) vision is to create a safe and promising future for children and at-risk adults. Our mission is to strengthen the communities, families, and systems that work to make that future possible. As a neutral, third party, we do this by facilitating reviews, gathering and analyzing data, publishing research, and providing training and technical assistance to effect change in practice, policy, and programs that lead to improved outcomes for Colorado’s children and at-risk adults.
Colorado’s Administrative Review Division (ARD) serves as an independent third party review system under the auspices of the Colorado Department of Human Services. The ARD manages quality assurance and quality improvement programs for Colorado’s child welfare and adult protective services systems. Specifically, the ARD is the mechanism responsible for the federally required Case Review System and a portion of the Quality Assurance System for both the Division of Child Welfare and the Division of Youth Services. Additionally, the ARD conducts quality assurance reviews of Adult Protective Services cases.
With an ultimate passion of providing permanency and well-being for Colorado’s children, and the safety and protection of at-risk adults, the Administrative Review Division works closely with Colorado’s counties to train, measure and assess their adherence to State and Federal regulations. Such regulations are in place to help prevent unnecessary moves for children in foster care and to assess (and encourage) that the needs of the families’, children, and at-risk adults are being appropriately addressed.
Specifically, the ARD is the mechanism responsible for:
- Child Welfare Quality Assurance:
- The federally required child welfare Case Review and Qualitative Case Review systems,
- Administrative Reviews
