Within 45 days of beginning the assessment, the social worker must decide if abuse or neglect has occurred. If the social worker finds that your child is safe (no impending danger), the case is closed. Your family may be referred for other services, if necessary.
If credible evidence exists to support an allegation of substantiated child maltreatment the caseworker will complete the 'Investigation Results and Notice to Substantiate/Right to Appeal” letter which includes information on the Appeal Process. Send via certified US Parcel Post, with return receipt requested.

As part of the assessment to ensure that the home is safe for the child(ren), the CPS worker and family will develop a plan to address any problems that have been identified.

CPS In General After investigating, CPS can do one of three things: Close a report as unsubstantiated if no abuse or neglect is found. Leave the child in the home but offer supportive services to the family as needed. Remove the child from the home if the child is in danger.
