Archived: Child victims in non-emergency Child Protective Services Intakes

Why is this a priority?

Children who have been identified as possible victims of child abuse and/or neglect in non-emergent cases need to be seen within 72 hours to assess safety and risk.

How are we doing?

Since March 2011, we have met or exceeded the target.

What are we working on?

Children's Administration (CA) continues to focus on timely responses to child abuse and/or neglect reports through frequent monitoring of data, initiation of a 1½ day “Safety Bootcamp” for case carrying staff from May through December 2016, regular case consultations, and case reviews.
