CPS SAMS Legal Partner Survey- The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) Bureau for Children and Families (BCF) requests that any attorney who practices in child abuse and neglect cases complete a brief survey on your perceptions of Child Protective Services (CPS) and the Safety Assessment and Management System (SAMS), a new CPS model designed to respond in a more precise way to protect unsafe children and better determine child safety. Please CLICK HERE and take a few minutes to provide BCF with your feedback. If you have already completed this survey at one of the recent conferences or trainings for the legal or child welfare community, you do not need to do so again. The survey will be open through September 23, 2011. BCF thanks you for your time and participation.
