The Four Conclusions In a DCPP/DYFS Investigation

Last week, I wrote about the sort of things you may experience when the DCPP begins an investigation. Today I’d like to help try to make sense of the four possible outcomes that make up the way a DCPP case can be closed. Since April 1^st 2013 the parameters of potential findings became four tiers, “Substantiated,” ‘Established,” “Not established,” or “Unfounded.” This expansion took place to add more specificity to the findings. Accounting for the often unique situations that families find themselves in.
