This is advanced, professional level casework providing protective, investigative, counseling and case management services for children who at risk for neglect and/or abuse.

Work involves investigation of alleged neglect and abuse, substantiation of the alleged neglect or abuse as prescribed by federal and state guidelines, providing expert testimony in court hearings, and following-up with case management and preventive services for clients.
