APS 5.1 Outcomes: Case Closures by County FY2014-2023

One of the following closure reasons are applied to the case:

Valid - Based on the standard of preponderance of the evidence, it is more likely than not that the abuse, neglect or financial exploitation occurred.

Valid - Progressed to Services - A valid investigation may be progressed into a service delivery stage. Beginning in FY2015, a valid investigation may be progressed into Intensive Case Services or Maintenance Services, based on risk level.

Services Provided in Investigation - When an alleged victim is experiencing abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation, APS may provide protective services during the investigation stage. Beginning FY 2015, services provided during the investigation are documented in the investigation stage and not as a separate service stage. If the alleged victim is at low or moderate risk of recidivism and the problem was resolved with services provided during the investigation, Maintenance or Intensive Case Services may not be required.

Invalid - Based on the standard of preponderance of the evidence, it is more likely than not that the abuse, neglect or financial exploitation did not occur.

Unable to Determine - A preponderance of the available evidence is insufficient to support a finding of Valid or Invalid.

Other - Refers to those investigations that workers could not complete, e.g. clients died or cases were misclassified.

以下为案件闭合原因之一：

有效 - 根据证据优势标准，滥用、疏忽或财务剥削事件发生的可能性大于未发生。

有效 - 进阶至服务阶段 - 一旦调查有效，可推进至服务交付阶段。自2015财年始，根据风险等级，有效调查可推进至强化案例服务或维护服务。

调查阶段提供的服务 - 当涉嫌受害者遭受虐待、疏忽或财务剥削时，在调查阶段，儿童保护服务（APS）可能提供保护性服务。自2015财年起，调查阶段提供的服务记录在调查阶段，而非作为独立的服务阶段。若涉嫌受害者再犯风险低或中等，且问题已通过调查阶段提供的服务得到解决，则可能无需强化或维护服务。

无效 - 根据证据优势标准，滥用、疏忽或财务剥削未发生的可能性大于已发生。

无法确定 - 可用证据的充分性不足以支持有效或无效的结论。

其他 - 指那些工作人员无法完成调查的情况，例如客户去世或案件被误分类。
