Family Approved

The Department of Children and Family

Services believes that every young person is
entitled to a permanent home and a
permanent family relationship

Child Welfare Services strives to provide all

children with a legally permanent plan of
reunification, adoption or legal guardianship
to investigate the degree of harm
experienced by the child and determine
whether the report is substantiated (Rubin,
2012, p. 3).
