Responsible for investigating all valid reports of abuse and neglect of youth and providing services to ensure protection from immediate harm.

Provides a program whose goal is to identify, assess, and provide services to children who have been abused or neglected and their families. It is designed to preserve families whenever possible, yet protect children and prevent further maltreatment. The CPS program is non-punitive in its approach and attempts to enable families to provide adequate care for their children. CPS utilizes a Differential Response System, allowing us to respond much of the time using a Family Assessment process, which is service oriented and strength-based. CPS in Albemarle County also utilizes a research based protocol, Structured Decision Making (SDM), to guide critical decisions during the life of a case ensuring a greater level of consistency to reduce re-occurrence of child maltreatment. ACDSS is piloting this program which may be used state-wide in the future. The CPS unit also provides foster care prevention services to families referred by the community and by Court Order. In addition, the CPS unit attempts outreach to prevent child abuse or neglect by addressing risk issues before they result in child maltreatment.
