Public childrens services agencies are required to
investigate and assess reports of child abuse and neglect and to intervene when necessary to protect children who are at risk of abuse, neglect, or dependency. The Public Children Services Agency will complete an assessment and, work with the family to develop a case plan identifying services necessary to reduce risk to the child and prevent the abuse or neglect from reoccurring. In instances where children cannot remain safe in their own homes, the agency works with the local juvenile court system to remove the child. A case plan is developed to identify what steps will be taken to ensure that the child will be able to live in a safe, stable environment. The risk of injury or death of a child requires staff to provide and coordinate an array of services that promote and ensure the safety and well-being of children. Major objectives of the Child Protective Services program are: 1. To continue and to support Ohio’s Statewide Risk Assessment Model. A risk-based system incorporates a variety of factors in determining risk to the child, and weighs these factors with strengths that would enable the family to assure the child’s safety. 2. To continue to support counties participating in Protect OHIO, a Title IV-E Waiver Demonstration Project designed to test new child welfare program approaches in order to access services and to enhance the quality of services. |
