Story Behind the Curve
The Protective Services category in Child Care Financial Assistance is used by children who are in the custody of the Department for Children and Families, Family Services Division, or there is an open investigation for suspected abuse or neglect. These children are often the most vulnerable children. Family Services Division has had a significant increase in the number of children coming into custody, and that has impacted this category of care.
Partners
The local Children's Integrated Services (CIS) teams, and the district Family Services offices partner to ensure children are receiving this service and are placed in appropriate child care settings.
