FRESNO COUNTY DEPARTMENT
    OF SOCIAL SERVICES
   Child Protective Agency Division
MISSION AND GOAL


• The department’s mission is to promote a system of best practice in
  partnership with the community, committed to prevention and early
  intervention, that ensures child safety, permanence and stability, family
  well-being, that is proactive, strategic, outcomes-based and fiscally
  responsible to the children and families served.
• In order to fulfill this mission the employees of the department provide
  assessment, intervention, prevention, placement, and mental health
  treatment services to both the children and their families.
SOCIAL JUSTICE


• Child welfare is the main social justice issue at hand. The department was
  put in place to seek justice for the child who are victims of abuse or
  neglect and to keep the best interest of the children in mind no matter wha
POPULATIONS AT RISK


•   The population the department serves is any child who falls under or is at risk
    for falling under any of the California Child Welfare and Institution 300 codes
    which include…
•   (a) Physical Abuse: The child has suffered or will suffer physical harm which
    was purposefully inflicted by parent or guardian.
•   (b) General Neglect: Parent(s) or guardian of the child has failed to or is
    unable to protect or supervise their child from harm or illness.
•   (c) Emotional Neglect: The child is suffering serious emotional damage as a
    result of the conduct of the parent or guardian or because the child has no
    parent or guardian capable of providing care.
•   (d) Sexual Abuse: The child has been sexually abused as defined in sub-divison
    (b) of section 11165.1 of the penal code by a parent/guardian or member of
    the household or the parent/guardian has failed to protect the child adequately
    from sexual abuse when the parent/guardian reasonably should have known
    the child was in danger of sexual abuse.
POPULATIONS AT RISK


•   (e) Severe physical abuse of a minor under the age of five: A child under the
    age of five has suffered severe physical harm by the parent/guardian or any
    person known by the parent, if the parent knew that the person was physically
    abusing the child, or the parent reasonably should have known that the person
    was physically abusing the child.
•   (f) Causing the Death of Another Child: A child whose parent/guardian
    caused the death of any other child by abuse or neglect that can be filed on.
•   (g) Cruelty: A child who has been subjected an act or acts of cruelty by the

•   (j) Child at risk of abuse or neglect similar to that suffered by a sibling: A child
    whose sibling has been abused as defined in subdivions (a, d, e, or i) or has
    been neglected as defined in (b, d, e, or i) and there is a substantial risk that the
    child will be abused by the same divisions listed above. The child’s age and
    gender should be taken into consideration.
D.S.S. STRUCTURE


•   In order to better assist our community, the department is divided into
    different sections that are in charge of different aspects of child welfare.
    Those areas include…
•   Emergency Reponse (ER): This is the area where I am placed. This is the
    place where the referral of abuse or neglect was made and where it is
    investigated. After the ER worker investigates the referral they either close the
    referral as unfounded meaning there was no evidence of abuse or promote the
    referral to case if the abuse or neglect was substantiated meaning that the
    referral allegations were true.
•   Family reunification (FR): This area of the department receives cases in
    which the children have already been removed from the home. The FR
    worker’s responsibility is to try and offer services to the family in order to help
    them reunify. After removal of the children parents have a limited amount of
    time to reunify depending on the age of the child.
D.S.S. STRUCTURE CONTINUED…


• Family Maintanence (FM): This area is in charge of cases in which the
  children reunified with the family. Most of the cases in FM have high risk
  children due to the fact that they are back in the home with the
  perpetrator. The FM worker continues to give services to the family in
  order to ensure that they maintain the progress that they have made.
• Permanency Planning (PP): The social workers in this area are assigned
  children that were unable to reunify with their families and whose parents
  have lost parental rights. The main goal here is to find a permanent living
  arrangement for that child. Adoption, legal guardianships, and long term
  foster care are the main options for the children.
D.S.S. STRUCTURE CONTINUED…


• Independent Living Program (ILP): This area of the department
  provides services to the probation and foster youth of the county ages 14-
  21. The program provides these children a sense of belonging and equip
  them with the necessary skills for self sufficiency.
• Adoption: Fresno county has its own public adoption agency in which its
  priority is to ensure that all eligible adopted children, including those
  relinquished and adopted through private agencies, have access to adoption
  assistance funds to help support permanency in their adoptive families.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
                               DEPARTMENT


• The department of social services, also referred to as CPS, is a very
  important agency because it protects the rights of the children. Every child
  has the right to a live a happy and healthy lifestyle free for harm or neglect.
• Social Workers in this department strive to do their best practice and
  incorporate the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) code of
  ethics in order to help assist the children in need.
