After a report is made, it is screened in if there is enough evidence of child maltreatment. Child protection investigators respond within a specific time period depending on the context of the allegations. Children in immediate danger or risk may be removed from the home during the investigation or following the investigation. At the end of the investigation, the allegation is either founded or unfounded and the child welfare agency may proceed with court action or recommend other services.
What will be an ideal response?
Intensive family preservation services are offered when families experience crisis and there is risk of out-of-home placement. During the time these services are offered, CPS monitors cases, but children remain in the home. Common elements of these include smaller caseloads for child welfare workers, quick start, frequent contact and visits, after hours availability, short duration, concrete supports such as food and financial assistance, and the utilization of a strengths based approach. The aim of IFPS is to end crisis and improve family functioning to the point that out of home placement is not needed.
