A wide range of social services coordinated and delivered on behalf of a child who is at risk of abuse or neglect. Reports alleging abuse or neglect are received by Children Services 24 hours per day every day of the year. Social workers respond to these reports by interviewing and assessing the child and his/her family to determine what, if any, risk factors are present. If the level of risk is low, the family is referred to agencies within the community to help them resolve identified problems. If the child is considered to be more significantly at risk, the family is often transferred for services within Children Services. Social workers from the Family Services units provide more intensive services to the children and their families in an effort to reduce the level of risk to the child. Social workers from the Family Development unit offer therapeutic home based services, homemaker assistance and parenting classes to families who have been identified as high risk for abuse and neglect. When a child is determined to be at critical risk, and without intervention could be in danger of serious harm, Children Services can request the Crawford County Juvenile Court to issue an order to place the child out of his/her home on a temporary basis. Social workers from the Family Services units and/or the Family Development unit then work with the family to reduce the risks in the home and reunify the family as quickly as possible.
