Abbreviated
InvestigationAn
abbreviated investigation or assessment is an appropriate option when
the initial information alleges a child may have been abused or neglected
but there is no evidence to support the allegations and there are no safety
risk factors identified.
Abbreviated Investigation indicator defaults to
“No”.
User may change to “Yes”. TFACTS will
validate whether the investigation meets criteria for Abbreviated Investigation
activity.
CPS Case cannot be abbreviated
if it contains sex abuse and/or child death allegations.
CPS Case cannot be abbreviated
since it is more than 15 days after the earliest CPS Intake date of any
intake linked to the investigation.
CPS Case (tracked Investigation
or Special Investigation) cannot be abbreviated if at least one allegation
is substantiated. Classification decisions for all allegations
on the investigation must be “Allegation Unsubstantiated/Perpetrator Unsubstantiated”
in order for the investigation to qualify for abbreviated activity.
