1  provide a remedy for child abuse or neglect.
2  For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "family assessment"
3  means a comprehensive assessment of child safety, risk of
4  subsequent child maltreatment, and family strengths and needs
5  that is applied to a child maltreatment report that does not
6  allege substantial child endangerment. "Family assessment"
7  does not include a determination as to whether child
8  maltreatment occurred but does determine the need for services
9  to address the safety of family members and the risk of
10  subsequent maltreatment.
11  For purposes of this subsection (a-5), "investigation"
12  means fact-gathering related to the current safety of a child
13  and the risk of subsequent abuse or neglect that determines
14  whether a report of suspected child abuse or neglect should be
15  indicated or unfounded and whether child protective services
16  are needed.
17  Under the "differential response program" implemented
18  under this subsection (a-5), the Department:
19  (1) Shall conduct an investigation on reports
20  involving substantial child abuse or neglect.
21  (2) Shall begin an immediate investigation if, at any
22  time when it is using a family assessment response, it
23  determines that there is reason to believe that
24  substantial child abuse or neglect or a serious threat to
25  the child's safety exists.
26  (3) May conduct a family assessment for reports that

1  do not allege substantial child endangerment. In
2  determining that a family assessment is appropriate, the
3  Department may consider issues, including, but not limited
4  to, child safety, parental cooperation, and the need for
5  an immediate response.
6  (4) Shall promulgate criteria, standards, and
7  procedures that shall be applied in making this
8  determination, taking into consideration the Safety-Based
9  Child Welfare Intervention System of the Department.
10  (5) May conduct a family assessment on a report that
11  was initially screened and assigned for an investigation.
12  In determining that a complete investigation is not
13  required, the Department must document the reason for
14  terminating the investigation and notify the local law
15  enforcement agency or the Illinois State Police if the local
16  law enforcement agency or Illinois State Police is conducting
17  a joint investigation.
18  Once it is determined that a "family assessment" will be
19  implemented, the case shall not be reported to the central
20  register of abuse and neglect reports.
21  During a family assessment, the Department shall collect
22  any available and relevant information to determine child
23  safety, risk of subsequent abuse or neglect, and family
24  strengths.
25  Information collected includes, but is not limited to,
26  when relevant: information with regard to the person reporting

10  neglect, information relating to developmental
11  functioning, credibility of the child's statement, and

8  Nothing in this subsection (a-5) precludes the Department
9  from collecting other relevant information necessary to
10  conduct the assessment or investigation. Nothing in this
11  subsection (a-5) shall be construed to allow the name or
12  identity of a reporter to be disclosed in violation of the
13  protections afforded under Section 7.19 of this Act.
14  After conducting the family assessment, the Department
15  shall determine whether services are needed to address the
16  safety of the child and other family members and the risk of
17  subsequent abuse or neglect.
18  Upon completion of the family assessment, if the
19  Department concludes that no services shall be offered, then
20  the case shall be closed. If the Department concludes that
21  services shall be offered, the Department shall develop a
22  family preservation plan and offer or refer services to the
23  family.
24  At any time during a family assessment, if the Department
25  believes there is any reason to stop the assessment and
26  conduct an investigation based on the information discovered,

12  for the execution of this Section, in accordance with Section
13  4 of the Children and Family Services Act.

5  other information that supports the school employee's
6  position and to provide information before a final finding
7  is entered.
8  (2) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
9  teacher or administrator does not involve allegations of
10  sexual abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child
11  Protective Service Unit shall make reasonable efforts to
12  conduct the initial investigation in coordination with the
13  employee's supervisor.
14  If the Unit determines that the report is a good faith
15  indication of potential child abuse or neglect, it shall
16  then commence a formal investigation under paragraph (3)
17  of subsection (b) of this Section.
18  (3) If a report of neglect or abuse of a child by a
19  teacher or administrator involves an allegation of sexual
20  abuse or extreme physical abuse, the Child Protective Unit
21  shall commence an investigation under paragraph (2) of
22  subsection (b) of this Section.

6  investigation from the school employee's employment position
7  pending the outcome of the investigation; however, all
8  employment decisions regarding school personnel shall be the
9  sole responsibility of the school district or employer. The
10  Department may not require a school district to remove a
11  school employee from the school employee's employment position
12  or limit the school employee's duties pending the outcome of
13  an investigation.
14  (d) If the Department has contact with an employer, or
15  with a religious institution or religious official having
16  supervisory or hierarchical authority over a member of the
17  clergy accused of the abuse of a child, in the course of its
