Abstract: This is a protocol to be used when a DCFS Family Service Worker (FSW) or the Arkansas State Police Crimes Against Children Division (CACD) Investigator conducts a Child Maltreatment Assessment. The protocol was developed under the authority of ACA 12-12-502(a), which authorizes the director to promulgate regulations to carry out the Child Maltreatment Act. It identifies and defines the various types of child maltreatment a FSW/CACD Investigator may encounter during an assessment. The protocol also identifies when and from whom an allegation of child maltreatment may be taken. Finally, it identifies those conditions, which must be met before an allegation of abuse or neglect can be founded (determined to be true). (Author abstract)

Title: Adult Services Plan: Serving 18-25 Year-Olds: Best Practices.
Published: 2007
Available from: California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS)

1600 Ninth Street, Room 460
Sacramento, CA 95814
Printable version (PDF): http://www.chhs.ca.gov/initiatives/CAChildWelfareCouncil/Documents/AdultServicesPlan.pdf
Abstract: This document represents the work of the Chief Probation Officers of California, Adult Services Committee and is part of an extensive action plan developed by the Committee. While there has been a great deal of focus on juvenile offenders in recent years that has resulted in expanded service delivery and improved outcomes with youth on probation across the state, more attention is warranted to address the very real needs of 18-25 year old offenders who lack the maturity and life experience of other, older probationers. Additionally, young adult offenders face many of the same barriers as their juvenile counterparts and yet often do not have the same level of support in their efforts to complete their grant of probation successfully. This briefing paper offers a strategic approach based on evidence-based practices. (Author abstract)
