DESCRIPTION: These records are created by case workers as a source of information in conducting alleged child abuse and neglect investigations. These investigations are initiated when a referral or complaint from the public, family, or state agency is reported to Human Services. The investigations affect both the child and family under investigation. They are unfounded when the investigation shows that the evidence does not support the allegations and therefore no protective need is found. Information contained in the investigations are written on forms 741, Child Abuse/Neglect Reort; 826, Investigation Summary; 828, Worker Activity and Contacts; and 829, Risk Assesment Worksheet For Child Protective Services.
