Sutter County Self-Assessment Project
The State of California, through Assembly Bill 636, officially recognized the State's
intent and commitment to improve the services delivered to children and families. This bill
requires each county in California delivering Child Protective Services (CPS) to families and
children to review and assess their individual delivery of services. This self-assessment
process will identify for each county the strengths and weaknesses in their service delivery
system.
