QIC- AG Full Evaluation Report: Permanency Survey (Vermont)

Vermont – Final Evaluation Report presents the full evaluation findings from the QIC‑AG implementation of the Vermont Permanency Survey, a universal, post‑permanency strategy designed to better understand the experiences and needs of adoptive and guardianship families statewide. Rather than testing a therapeutic intervention, the report examines how Vermont used a comprehensive survey approach to assess family well‑being, child functioning, caregiver stress, and service needs both before and after adoption or guardianship finalization. It details the evaluation design, survey development, participant population, implementation processes, and findings, and discusses how the results informed system‑level planning and service improvement. As a full evaluation report, this resource provides in‑depth evidence on the value of data‑driven approaches for strengthening post‑permanency supports and guiding continuous quality improvement in child welfare systems.
