21. Possible Outcomes The initial assessment by CPS generally concludes with one of the following actions: the case is closed with no referral for services, the case is closed & the family is referred to community services, or the case is opened for ongoing services that are either voluntary or court-ordered 21 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - January 2012 Speaker Notes Reference Question #29 in The School�s Role in Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect available at http://www.dpi.wi.gov/sspw/can.html.Speaker Notes Reference Question #29 in The School�s Role in Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect available at http://www.dpi.wi.gov/sspw/can.html.

22. Possible Outcomes (continued) Whether or not a case is opened for services often depends upon: any safety threats present in the home, a family�s willingness to receive services from the child welfare or other service agency, or when it is believed the child is not safe & the family refuses services, the ability of the agency to obtain a court order mandating services 22 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - January 2012 Speaker Notes Reference Question #29 in The School�s Role in Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect available at http://www.dpi.wi.gov/sspw/can.html.

23. Why doesn�t CPS always take action? The child�s mistreatment may not be serious enough to legally allow intervention Removal from a home is a last resort Children often can be maintained safely in the home Placing a child in a foster home can be traumatic for both the child & other family members 23 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction - January 2012 Speaker Notes See the Training for All School Employees Webcast for definitions of child maltreatment.
