Oversight & Guidance

Oversight

Our work includes leading statewide oversight efforts to ensure network improvements, addressing corrective actions, and work to achieve high-quality 2-1-1 services. As a funder and collaborative partner, we designate and undesignated the 2-1-1 number, monitor 2-1-1 activity, and monitor community data and trends across Illinois.

211 Illinois is actively working to achieve both our strategic plan and network plans. This includes reaching our goal of reaching 100% coverage of 2-1-1 services in Illinois.

Guidance

We provide technical support to the 211 Illinois Statewide Network around accreditation, standards, and best practices. We invest in training and education around 2-1-1 and contact center best practices. We work collaboratively on service alignment, standardization, and continuity of 2-1-1 services. We achieve this by working collaboratively to improve the quality of services and create a more consistent client experience across Illinois.

211 Illinois hosts monthly network meetings to support 2-1-1 staff skill and service improvement. We also publish guides to support knowledge and skill improvement for our network and funding partners like United Way, Health Departments, and local elected officials.
