(a) Definition. The Department of Family and Protective Services' (DFPS) Child Protective Services (CPS) Division provides family reunification services for families. These services are provided to families and children to:
(1) protect the children from abuse and
neglect;
(2) help the family reduce
the risk of abuse and neglect; and
(3) make it possible for the children to
return home and live there safely after DFPS has removed them and placed them
in substitute care as specified in Subchapters K and M of this chapter
(relating to Court-Related Services and Substitute-Care Placement
Services).
(b) When a child has returned home,
CPS can provide or arrange for services to:
(1) protect the child in the parent's
home;
(2) reduce the risk of abuse
and neglect; and
(3) enable the
family to function effectively without CPS assistance in the future.
