Q: Is the Child Welfare Services-California Automated Response and Engagement System (CWS-CARES) project planning to offer specific design templates for communications and newsletters, including logos and branding?

A: Counties may request source files on final versions of CWS-CARES topic-specific communication content (Example: An Infographic or CWS-CARES Newsletter). These requests will be evaluated and approved by the project on a case-by-case basis. If the request is approved, the source file will be provided to the requestor along with guidelines and disclaimers on content modification. Graphics and logos, along with guidelines for use, will be available upon request for county/organization to leverage on their communication content related to CWS-CARES. Blank, ready-to-use project branded templates (Examples: CWS-CARES or CWDS PowerPoint or Word templates) will not be shared for County and Organization use because someone might interpret a county-created message as an official CWDS project message if the project branded template is used.
