Does FPS advocate allowing a child to remain in the home when the childs safety is at risk?
No. A referral is made to FPS by Child Protective Services (CPS), only when CPS has found that, although the child may be at imminent risk of placement, intensive work with the family can reduce that risk and improve the family’s ability to stay together. Throughout the service period the FPS worker, along with the family and other helpers, will continue to monitor for safety.
