CONCORD, NH – A report commissioned by the state to review the performance of the state’s Division of Children, Youth and Families has concluded that the agency is overworked, understaffed and inadequately trained, elevating the risk to children most in need of protection from harm.

The 103-page report also provides 20 recommendations going forward, to improve outcomes for children who come into contact with the system, most often through family issues that come to light through the courts or law enforcement.
