Home MenuChild Protective Services
Racine County’s Child Protective Services (CPS) is responsible for responding to reports of child abuse and neglect to ensure the immediate safety and well-being of children. CPS works in partnership with families to assess risks, provide interventions, and connect parents and caregivers to resources that support safe and healthy home environments.
The primary goal of CPS is to protect children while keeping families together whenever possible. When concerns of abuse or neglect arise, CPS professionals assess the situation, determine the level of risk, and provide services designed to strengthen families and reduce future harm. In some cases, this may involve safety planning, referrals to community programs, or legal action if necessary to secure a child’s safety.
CPS operates under state and federal laws that guide child welfare practices and ensure that all children have the opportunity to grow up in safe, stable, and nurturing environments.
