The Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of children and families through child welfare and juvenile justice services and community supports. ACS manages community-based supports and foster care services and provides subsidized childcare vouchers. ACS child protection staff respond to allegations of child maltreatment. In juvenile justice, ACS oversees detention, placement and programs for youth in the community.
The Division of Child Protection is seeking qualified candidates to serve as Child Protective Specialists within each borough office. In each Borough office (Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Queens), DCP Protective/ Diagnostic Units are comprised of five CPS and one CPSS II (and sometimes one CPSS I). These staff investigate reports of alleged child abuse and neglect. The PD child protective team is the largest within DCP, and the largest in each of the Borough offices. Child protective staff are responsible for investigating every allegation that is reported, and also for conducting a comprehensive assessment of the immediate safety and risk of future harm to each child in the family. Based upon the case circumstances, child protective staff may act immediately to protect the child(ren).
Under supervision of the Unit Supervisor and Child Protective Manager, with moderate latitude for the exercise of independent action and decision making, the Child Protective Specialist will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Utilize social work and investigative skills to work with families being investigated for abuse or neglect to children
- Initiate investigations/safety interventions in response to allegations of abuse and / or neglect
- Meet families in their home within 48 hours of receiving a report or within 24 hours when immediate danger is suspected.
- Interview and assess all children for safety
- Interview parents/caretaker, alleged subjects, household members and collateral contacts
- Make a Safety Assessment of children in their family immediately when required or within 7 days
- Participate in Family Meetings or Conferences with the family or other support systems
- Provide a determination of abuse or neglect based on the investigation within 60 days of the report
- For indicated cases with ongoing service needs, assess on an ongoing basis the risk of future abuse or maltreatment of the children, arrange for services and work with the family to address
the reasons for risk to the child
- Work with ACS legal staff to file petitions with Family Court when required for supervisory oversight of the family or for removal of children
- Work collaboratively with contract agencies to provide Preventive or Foster Care when appropriate
- Enter and maintain computerized records of case information
