up services depend on the nature and seriousness of maltreatment and
the needs of the child and family.
Whenever
possible services are provided so the child can be cared for within
the family or extended family to preserve the cultural connection.
This is established through a voluntary agreement between the Agency
and the parents. Three are established limited time frames for each
of the Agreements.
In
some cases Child and Family Services will apply for guardianship through
the Family Court so the child remains safe from harm while service
plans are implemented to assist the child and family through their
issues.
