Q: What is the schedule for implementing Child Welfare Services-California Automated Response and Engagement System (CWS-CARES) V1 and V2?
A: CWS-CARES V1 will use a statewide rollout approach, which means all end users will implement V1 at the same time. CWS-CARES V1 is scheduled to go-live in October 2026 and V2 is scheduled to go-live in April 2028.
