Investigation Activities: Safety Planning is used to ensure a child's safety during the course of an investigation. If a safety factor is identified, there are two options to implement during the safety planning process. 1) Develop a protection plan to address each identified safety factor if the child will remain in the home. 2) If a safety factor can not be mitigated with a protection plan, the Division must remove the child from the home and take protective custody. I5: Qualification of staff: Unknown; however, DCFS offers the MSW Educational Leave Program to enable the Division to employ an increased number of persons who possess the MSW degree. Additionally, DCFS offers the Child Welfare Student Stipend Program to hire more employees with degrees in social work and social work-related fields (BSW).
