CPS 1.9 Outcomes of Children Completing Family Preservation Services FY2014-2023

This tracks six month, one year, and five year outcomes for children who were provided family preservation services and subsequently alleged as a victim in an investigation within the noted time period. The date of service is determined by the close of the CPS Family Preservation stage. The six month period is calculated by following those children who were served within the first six months of the fiscal year (FY) to see if the same child is an alleged victim in an abuse/neglect child protective investigation within six months of the family preservation stage closure. For the one year outcome, those children who were served in the prior FY are tracked for one year and reported in the next fiscal year. The outcomes reported in FY 2018 had a beginning cohort from FY 2017. The five year outcomes start with the FY five years prior and follows each child for five years to track the outcomes. FY 2018 would have a beginning cohort of those children who were participated in family preservation services in FY 2013. This does not track recidivism, which is defined by CPS as subsequent reason to believe finding in a new investigation or subsequent open case to FBSS or removal within a given timeframe. This dashboard addresses the Texas Human Resources Code Section 40.0516 (a)(9)(A), (B), (C) and (a)(10).

APS 3.5 Investigations: Perpetrators by Region with Demographics FY2014-2023

Chapter 48, Title 2, of the Texas Human Resources Code (HRC) and Chapter 705 of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC) authorizes APS to investigate abuse and financial exploitation of a person age 65 or older or an adult with a disability when the person responsible for the maltreatment is a: • caretaker; • paid caretaker; • family member; or • person who has an ongoing relationship with the alleged victim. Examples include a personal friend, paramour, or roommate. In the case of neglect, the perpetrator may also be the victim himself or herself. This is called "Self-neglect". In cases of family violence, a protective order can be obtained from a court that prohibits a member of a family or household from remaining in the household, and from contacting or coming near the victim. The purpose of the order is to prevent that person from committing further acts of family violence against the victim. The statutes governing family violence protective orders are set forth in Texas Family Code Chapters 71-87. This order is only available when family violence has been committed by a family member, member of the household, or in some circumstances by a person the victim has dated. Each victim may have more than one perpetrator at the end of an investigation. Visit dfps.state.tx.us for information on all DFPS programs.

APS 4.1 Services: Activity by Region with Demographics FY2014-2023

Services provided to clients by DFPS may include social casework, case management, and arranging for psychiatric and health evaluation, home care, day care, social services, health care, respite services, and other services. The APS specialist works with the client to develop a service plan to address identified problems. Safely maintaining clients in the least restrictive environment is a primary goal of APS intervention. Protective services may be necessary to alleviate or prevent the client from returning to a state of abuse, neglect or financial exploitation. In this case, DFPS may also provide services to a family member or caretaker. (Texas Human Resources Code §48.002(a)(5) and §48.204) Protective services may be delivered in every stage of an investigation The APS specialist makes all reasonable efforts to resolve problems, including root causes, and stabilizes the client’s condition. Full resolution of a client’s problems is always the goal of APS casework, but it is not always achievable. When full resolution is not a practical goal because of inadequate resources, client resistance, or some other impediment, the APS specialist closes the case when a client’s situation is as close to stable as possible. The phrase "reasonable effort" implicitly recognizes that: • personal choice on the part of the client may limit the effectiveness of APS intervention; • resources available to APS for helping clients are limited; and • APS cannot remedy all situations. 1. Counts for FY 2015 and subsequent years cannot be compared to those from prior Data Books, due to changes in the APS casework practice model. Cases with services provided during the investigation may not have a separate service stage. 2. Clients in validated cases may receive more than one service.
