  6. Philosophy of Child Protective Services • CPS efforts are most likely to succeed when clients are involved and actively participate in the process. • When parents cannot or will not fulfill their responsibilities to protect their children, CPS has the right and obligation to intervene directly on the children's behalf.

  7. Philosophy of Child Protective Services • When children are placed in out-of-home care because their safety cannot be assured, CPS should develop a permanency plan as soon as possible. • To best protect a child's overall well-being, agencies want to assure that children move to permanency as quickly as possible.
