If an investigation indicates a child's current living arrangements are unsafe, the child services agency can determine that it is in the child's best interests to be removed from the home of her/his caretaker(s). A child's removal can either be court ordered, voluntary, or as a result of an emergency. If the removal is based on an emergency, the child services agency must, in most cases, obtain a court order to continue the out-of-home placement. If a legal action already exists for the specific removal, it can be associated to the placement record. CCS supports the removal processes. The caseworker records the removal date, removal reason(s) (e.g., physical or sexual abuse) and other details. The caseworker can also specify the type of removal (court, voluntary), and capture additional relevant details as part of the removal narrative. CCS also supports the ability to capture additional details regarding the removal of a child from his or her parents or guardian, as well as the living arrangement of the child prior to the removal.
