CPI 5.3 Alternative Response Stages - Clients Served FY2015-2023

ABOUT THIS CHART
Child Protective Investigations (CPI) conducts either a traditional investigation or Alternative Response (AR). Traditional investigations and Alternative Response require caseworkers to assess safety and take needed actions to protect a child while assessing any risk of abuse or neglect in the foreseeable future. AR cases present a less adversarial more collaborative approach to working with families by allowing for family engagement along with other community supports to ensure child safety. AR differs from traditional investigations in that AR cases are Priority 2 cases involving victims who are age 6 or older, there is no substantiation of allegations, no entry of perpetrators into the Central Registry (a repository for reports of child abuse and neglect), and there is a heightened focus on guiding the family to plan for safety in a way that works for them and therefore sustains safety.

Alterative Response has been fully implemented in Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. AR in Region 6A is in the implementation stage. Full state implementation is anticipated in March 2021. Region 6A is Harris County and Region 6B is Region 6 excluding Harris County.

The persons in these counts are limited to principals in Alternative Response stages. Clients in stages that were administratively closed or closed to merge were excluded from the counts.

This dashboard addresses Texas Family Code Section 264.017 (b) (3).

关于本图表

儿童保护调查（CPI）执行传统调查或替代响应（AR）。传统调查与替代响应均要求社会工作者评估儿童安全状况，并采取必要措施以保护儿童，同时评估未来可能发生的虐待或忽视风险。替代响应案件采用一种更为协作而非对抗的方法与家庭合作，通过允许家庭参与及其他社区支持，以确保儿童安全。替代响应与传统调查的区别在于，替代响应案件属于第二优先级案件，涉及年龄为6岁或以上的受害者，不存在对指控的证实，未将加害者录入中央登记册（儿童虐待和忽视报告的存储库），并且更加重视引导家庭规划安全方案，以适应其需求并因此维持安全。

替代响应已在第1区至第11区全面实施。第6A区的替代响应正处于实施阶段。预计全州将在2021年3月实现全面实施。第6A区为哈里斯县，而第6B区则为排除哈里斯县的第6区。

本计数中的人数仅限于替代响应阶段的主要负责人。处于行政关闭或合并关闭阶段的服务对象被排除在计数之外。
