The Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) began publishing Child Protective Services (CPS) Intake Fact Sheets March, 2024. The CPS Intake Fact Sheets will present data pertaining to the number of CPS intakes/reports over the past year, along with risk factors and demographics of the families and children experiencing abuse or neglect. This data will be used to improve comunication with our community and agency partners.
Ten Fact Sheets, nine regional and one statewide, will be produced monthly. The information is based on the CPS intakes completed in the most recent rolling year.
The purpose of these fact sheets are to:
- Hold the count of CPS intakes and reports over a one-year period.
- Provide characteristics of the families and children with abuse or neglect, such as risk factors and demographics.
- Be used in communication with community partners, legislators, administration, and others needing this information
