Child Welfare Agency

A Child Welfare Agency is a government or non-profit organization responsible for ensuring the safety, well-being, and rights of children. These agencies investigate reports of abuse or neglect, support families in crisis, and provide resources like foster care and adoption services. They aim to protect children from harm while promoting healthy family relationships and environments. Child Welfare Agencies work closely with social workers, law enforcement, and community organizations to create safe and nurturing conditions for children and support parents in fulfilling their caregiving roles.
