About CSSP

The Center for the Study of Social Policy (CSSP) is a national non-profit, and since its founding more than 40 years ago, has been at the forefront of our nation’s most significant reforms in child welfare and family support services, combining rigorous standards for policy analysis and nurturing innovation in communities. We believe that our collective efforts will dramatically shift our nation toward a more fair, just, and equitable society, by focusing on several key priorities, including:

• Developing a strong national anti-poverty policy that centers equity.
• Ensuring that all young children get a great start in life by advancing local early childhood systems and parental leadership.
• Building public systems that empower all youth and link them to opportunities.
• Creating a national child welfare system that is fair, equitable, and effective.
• Generating evidence about the power of communities and marginalized people to lead and achieve lasting change.

Many CSSP staff contributed to the development of these online modules and the in-person training, and we would like to thank them for their efforts.

The development of inSIGHT: Exploring Implicit Bias in Child Protection was funded in part by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. We thank them for their support but acknowledge that the findings and conclusions presented in this curriculum are those of CSSP alone, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Foundation.
