CPI 5.3 Alternative Response Stages - Clients Served FY2016-2025
ABOUT THIS CHART
Child Protective Investigations (CPI) conducts either a traditional investigation or Alternative Response (AR) investigation. Traditional investigations and Alternative Response investigations 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 investigations focus on a more collaborative approach to working with families by allowing for family engagement along with other community supports to ensure child safety. AR investigations differs from traditional investigations in that AR investigations are Priority 2 investigations 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.
FOOTNOTES
Alternative Response completed full implementation in all Regions in March 2021.
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 chart addresses Texas Family Code Section 264.017 subsection (b)(3).
