Term: Receipt of Protective or Support Services

Glossary Definition

Last Updated: 2007-12-12

Definition:

Any child or family receiving protective or support services from Child and Family Services. Although support services are supposed to be voluntary, and protective services mandatory, this distinction is often blurred in the Child and Family Services Information System, so these two types of services are combined for analyses.
