All Children - All Families: Agency Self-Assessment
The All Children - All Families Agency (ACAF) Self-Assessment allows an organization to understand and document its level of cultural competence in welcoming LGBT-headed families in its current practice. Upon completion, agencies will receive a report outlining how many of the 10 benchmarks of LGBT cultural competence they have met. A member of the ACAF National Advisory Council will also analyze the self-assessment and provide the agency with one hour of individualized technical assistance - including a plan for each agency to improve its practice.
Completing the Assessment
The Agency Self-Assessment is completed online, allowing agencies to complete it at their own pace. Prior to completing the assessment, agencies must submit their All Children - All Families Pledge of Commitment to confirm their commitment to implement the promising practices and achieve the key benchmarks outlined by All Children - All Families.
Upon signing the pledge, agencies are given a unique username and password for completing the online self-assessment.
