When a report is received regarding the inappropriate treatment of a child in a DFCS foster home, all allegations are immediately reviewed by the Resource Development supervisor and forwarded to the CPS Intake Call Center (CICC) of DFCS for immediate screening if there is any indication or suspicion of possible abuse or neglect. The county director and other appropriate personnel are immediately informed of the report. 

The child’s case manager will contact the foster parent to explain the next step(s) to be taken and to provide support, clarification, and/or and other services that will not compromise the integrity of the CPS investigation or the safety of the child in care.
