Child Protection Services (CPS)

Child Protective Services (CPS) investigates reports of child abuse and neglect occurring on restricted trust property. CPS caseworkers work directly with children and their families and respond to referrals from a variety of community sources.

CPS staff follow up on referrals, conduct assessments or investigations as required, and make appropriate recommendations to The Delaware Nation ICW or legal authorities on behalf of tribal citizens.
