The intake worker will need to determine the type of intake being received.
- Child Protective Services (CPS) - If allegations exist, the
intake worker selects to create a Child Protective Services
intake.
- Family Services (FS) - If there are no allegations, but rather a
request for services (prevention), the intake worker can select to
create a Family Services intake.
- Inter-jurisdictional (IJ) - If the person is requesting to
transfer a child to the intake worker's jurisdiction (e.g. move a
child from one jurisdiction to another), the intake worker will create
an Inter-jurisdictional intake.
- Information and Referral (I & R) - If the person is
requesting information regarding child welfare (or anything else), or
simply requesting a referral for services, the intake worker may
create an Information and/or Referral intake.
If the type of intake is unknown at the initiation of the intake, the intake worker can create an "unknown" intake type, but must select one of the previous four types of intakes prior to submission of the intake recommendation.
