LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
INTRODUCTION PENNSYLVANIA’S CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES LAW (CPSL) requires the Department of Human Services (the department) to prepare and transmit to the governor and General Assembly an annual report on the operations of ChildLine and protective services provided by the county children and youth agencies (CCYA). This year, the department is pleased to present the 2016 Annual Child Protective Services Report in a new format. This report focuses on presenting the statewide data view of child abuse in Pennsylvania, while also providing county- and region-specific information. It is important to note that the data contained in this report is based on child abuse reports or general protective services reports received between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. Data in previous annual reports were based on the year the status determination was received at ChildLine. The Keep Kids Safe website (www.KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov) serves as the hub for information and resources impacting child protection for both professionals and the general public. This website includes: information related to mandatory reporting; training and reporting on child abuse recognition; information related to clearances; the Safe Haven Program; fatality and near fatality summaries; prior years’ annual child abuse reports; and links to information previously included within this report such as the Directory of Services, the Citizen’s Review Panel Recommendations, and the department’s response to those recommendations. ONLINE CONTENT http://KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov/resources/childabusereports/ The data in this report will be available for download at the above link; the online data will include additional detail.
DATA EXTRACTION All child abuse and general protective services data presented in this report was extracted on 3/23/2017 unless otherwise noted. 3
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
ACT 115 OF 2016 ON OCTOBER 28, 2016, Pennsylvania enacted Act 115 of 2016. Effective immediately, Act 115 made amendments to the Adoption Act, the CPSL and the Juvenile Act to ensure Pennsylvania’s compliance with specific federal requirements under the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). Act 115 details additional aggravated circumstances for involuntary termination of parental rights, which when present, do not require reunification efforts to be made when a child is removed from their home. These additional circumstances include when a parent has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed sexual abuse against the child or another child of the parent, or the parent is required to register with a sexual offender registry. Additionally, Act 115 amends the CPSL by adding language to the definitions of perpetrator and child abuse, ensuring that children who are trafficked by a perpetrator for sex or labor can be identified as victims of child abuse and neglect within the child protective services system, and provided services. The sharing of confidential information with law enforcement has been enhanced under the CPSL as long as they are investigating severe forms of trafficking in persons or sex trafficking.

SUBSTANTIED REPORTS
• Statewide substantiated reports of child abuse remained relatively constant from 1.6 per thousand children in 2015 and 1.7 per thousand children in 2016. • Sexual abuse remains the leading category of abuse, followed by physical abuse. • Parents continue to be the persons most responsible for abuse of their children. • Amendments to the Child Protective Services Law, effective in December 2014, continue to drive increases in reports of child abuse. These amendments increased the number of mandated reporters of child abuse and added additional persons who could be identified as perpetrators of child abuse.
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES reports are those that allege a child might have been a victim of child abuse. Reports alleging that a child under 18 years of age may have been abused are accepted for investigation when reported prior to the victim’s twentieth birthday.

STATEWIDE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES C O N T I N U E D F R O M PAG E 4
• A person makes a specific disclosure to the mandated reporter that an identifiable child is the victim of child abuse; or • An individual 14 years of age or older makes a specific disclosure to the mandated reporter that the individual has committed child abuse. For a complete list of mandated reporters and how to make a report, please visit www.KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov. Persons who are not mandated to report are considered permissive reporters. Permissive reporters may make a referral of suspected child abuse by calling ChildLine. Anyone who has reasonable cause to suspect child abuse is encouraged to make a report.
INVESTIGATIONS Upon receipt of a report of suspected child abuse, the CCYA immediately begins an investigation and assures safety of the child and any other children living in the home. The CCYA is required to see the child within the following time frames: • Immediately, if: › Emergency protective custody is required, has been or will be taken; or 5
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
› It cannot be determined from the report whether emergency protective custody is needed. • Within 24 hours, if the CCYA has assured the immediate safety of the child, i.e. the child will have no contact with the alleged perpetrator. The CCYA investigates reports of suspected child abuse when the alleged perpetrator meets the definition under the CPSL. Suspected child abuse can be caused by the alleged perpetrator by acts either he or she committed (commission) or by failing to
• A parent of the child; • A spouse or former spouse of the child’s parent; • A paramour or former paramour of the child’s parent; • A person 14 years of age or older and responsible for the child’s welfare or having direct contact with children as an employee of child-care services, a school or through a program, activity or service; • An individual 14 years of age or older who resides in the same home as the child; • An individual 18 years of age or older who does not reside in the same home as the child, but is related within the third C O N T I N U E S O N PAG E 6

degree of consanguinity or affinity by birth or adoption to the child; or • An individual 18 years of age or older who engages a child in severe forms of trafficking in persons or sex trafficking, as those terms are defined under Section 103 of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (114 Stat. 1466, 22 U.S.C. § 7102). The following individuals may be considered a perpetrator for failing to act: • A parent of the child; • A spouse or former spouse of the child’s parent; • A paramour or former paramour of the child’s parent; • A person 18 years of age or older and responsible for the child’s welfare; or • A person 18 years of age or older who resides in the same home as the child. Relationships of perpetrators described in this report further define how the perpetrator was connected to the child. Reports may have more than one allegation of abuse by a perpetrator against a child victim. Because some children are victims of more than one type of abuse, the chart [pg. 10] illustrating 6
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
the types of allegations will be a greater number than the number of children who were victims of child abuse. If the alleged perpetrator does not fit the CPSL definition, the report is referred to law enforcement officials for investigation. Reports are also referred to law enforcement officials for a joint multi-disciplinary team investigation with the CCYA and a health care professional when there are child abuse allegations that also include certain criminal offenses, such as aggravated assault, kidnapping, sexual abuse, sex trafficking, or serious bodily injury by any perpetrator. A child abuse investigation must determine within 30 days whether the report is: • FOUNDED – there is court action including: › A judicial adjudication that the child was abused; › Acceptance into an accelerated rehabilitative disposition program; › Consent decree entered in a juvenile proceeding; or › Granting of a final protection from abuse order. • INDICATED – CCYA or regional staff find substantial evidence that abuse has
occurred based on medical evidence, the child protective service investigation, or an admission by the perpetrator; • UNFOUNDED – there is a lack of evidence that the child was abused; or • PENDING – status assigned to a report when the CCYA cannot complete the investigation within 60 calendar days because criminal or juvenile court action has been initiated. The status of indicated reports is approved by the CCYA administrator and reviewed by the CCYA solicitor. A CCYA might take up to 60 days to complete an investigation if there is a valid reason to not complete the investigation within 30 days, such as waiting on results from medical reports or other evaluations. The CCYA must document this reason in the case file. Substantiated reports are kept on file at both ChildLine and the county agencies until the victim’s 23rd birthday. ChildLine keeps the perpetrator’s information on file indefinitely if the name and date of birth or social security number of the perpetrator is known. Unfounded reports are kept on file for one year from the date of the report. They must be expunged within 120 days following the one-year period. If the unfounded case is accepted for services, the report is maintained as part of the case record and is then kept on file for one year C O N T I N U E S O N PAG E 7

2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
ChildLine uses the statewide database to identify if a child victim on a new report has been previously identified as a victim in a substantiated report of abuse. Upon receipt of a report at ChildLine, a caseworker searches the statewide database to identify if any subject of the report — including the child’s parent, perpetrator, or the child themselves — was involved in a previous substantiated report or one that is under investigation. In addition, during the course of a current investigation, it is possible that other previously unreported incidents of child abuse are disclosed. For example, an investigation can reveal another incident of abuse that was never before disclosed by the child or the family for a number of reasons. These previously unreported incidents are registered with ChildLine and handled as separate reports. Both types of reports are reflected in the graphic depicting reports of repeat abuse [pg. 10].
OCYF REGIONAL OFFICES The department’s Office of Children,
Youth and Families (OCYF) has regional offices in Philadelphia, Scranton, Hollidaysburg, and Pittsburgh. Regional office responsibilities include: • Monitoring, licensing, and providing technical assistance to CCYA and private children and youth agencies and facilities; • Investigating child abuse when the alleged perpetrator is a CCYA employee or one of its agents; • Monitoring CCYAs’ implementation and ongoing compliance with the CPSL; • Ensuring regulatory compliance of agencies and facilities by investigating complaints and conducting annual inspections; • Assisting CCYAs in the interpretation and implementation of new laws and regulations; and • Reviewing and recommending approval of county needs-based plans and budget estimates. When the suspected abuse has been committed by the CCYA or any of its agents or employees, the CPSL requires the department to investigate reports of suspected child abuse due to conflict of interest. An agent of the county agency is anyone who provides a children and youth social service for, or on behalf of, the CCYA. Agents might include resource parents, residential facility staff, and staff and volunteers at child care centers.

SUBSTANTIATED CHILD ABUSE REPORTS
This map uses the number of children with substantiated reports of child abuse for every 1,000 children in each county. This approach takes into account different population sizes and allows for counties to be examined in comparable terms. Almost 75% of the state population under 18 years old lives in urban counties, and conversely, just under one quarter live in rural counties. The average rate of substantiated reports was significantly higher for rural counties (2.6) than for urban counties (1.6). The average substantiated rate in both types of counties rose slightly from 2015: from 1.5 to 1.6 in urban counties; and from 2.4 to 2.6 in rural counties. 9

CHILD ABUSE FATALITY AND NEAR FATALITY REVIEW AND ANALYSIS THE FATALITY OR NEAR FATALITY OF A CHILD under suspicious circumstances impacts the wider community, with everyone left wondering what could have been done differently to prevent the incident from occurring. The department is required to review circumstances surrounding cases where suspected child abuse might have occurred, which helps the community better understand what led to the fatality or near fatality, and to help initiate a discussion on how Pennsylvanians can help prevent future occurrences. Act 33 became effective December 30, 2008, and required that child fatalities and near fatalities where abuse was suspected be reviewed at the state and county levels. The review of child fatalities was not new to the field of child welfare, but rather codified and built upon the existing review process for fatalities to include the review of near fatalities. Act 44 of 2014 further addressed public disclosure provisions by permitting the investigating CCYA to release information to the public prior to the completion of its fatality or near fatality review team report. Act 33 of 2008 and Act 44 of 2014 increase child-serving systems’ transparency and accountability related to child fatalities and near fatalities by granting public access to information related to each child fatality or near fatality when abuse is suspected. Upon receipt of a report of suspected child abuse 11
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
involving a fatality or near fatality, two types of reviews are immediately initiated: • The first level of review occurs at the local level in accordance with an established protocol and involves the county agency convening a team broadly representative of the community, consisting of at least six individuals who have expertise in the prevention and treatment of child abuse. County Child Abuse Fatality and Near Fatality Review Teams are required to review cases when it has been determined that abuse occurred, or when a final status determination has not been made within 30 calendar days from the date of the report to ChildLine. • The department is responsible for conducting the second level of review for all child fatalities and near fatalities when abuse is suspected, regardless of the status determination. This means that both substantiated and unfounded cases will be reviewed. The department has convened a Statewide Child Fatality and Near Fatality Trend Analysis Team consisting of cross-system partners and external stakeholders. The team’s purpose is to analyze data and information gathered to determine the contributing factors and symptoms of abuse and to form recommendations for policy and practice changes at the state and local levels. The team will use the analyses to promote and support the implementation of effective prevention efforts in Pennsylvania that may prevent similar future occurrences. These reviews seek to identify areas that require systemic change in order to improve the delivery of services to children and families, and develop data-driven and research-informed recommendations, which will ultimately enhance the commonwealth’s ability to protect children. Findings and recommendations will be posted to www.KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov.

The person named as the perpetrator can request an administrative review or bypass the administrative review and request a hearing before the department’s Bureau of Hearings and Appeals (BHA). The administrative review is performed by a panel of professionals within the OCYF. If the person who is named as a perpetrator is granted the appeal, the individual’s name and identifying information is removed from the statewide database.

THE NAME AND KNOWN IDENTIFYING INFORMATION of an individual named as a perpetrator of a substantiated report of child abuse is maintained in the statewide database. The department’s ChildLine and Abuse Registry provides notice of the findings of the investigation to all subjects of the report, including the person named as the perpetrator. The notice to the person named as the perpetrator includes information regarding their right to file an appeal of an indicated report within 90 days of being notified. Only the person who has been named as a perpetrator has the right to file an appeal.

• Newly discovered evidence that an indicated report is inaccurate or is not being maintained consistent with the CPSL; or • A determination the perpetrator no longer presents a risk of child abuse and there is no public purpose for maintaining the individual’s name on the statewide database. Lastly, individuals may request reconsideration by the secretary if they disagree with the findings at the conclusion of a BHA hearing. This request must be made in writing within 15 calendar days of the mailing of the final BHA order.
CLEARANCES FOR EMPLOYEES AND VOLUNTEERS THE CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES LAW (CPSL) ESTABLISHES requirements enumerating individuals that must obtain clearances (statutorily referred to as certifications) in order to be employed, to be a resource parent (foster or adoptive), or volunteer with children. In some circumstances, a resource parent or an individual residing in the resource family home may be required to obtain additional clearances if they have lived out-ofstate within the past five years. The CPSL also outlines the grounds for which these individuals would be prohibited from working or volunteering with children. The child abuse history clearance will only contain a record of indicated, founded, pending criminal court, pending juvenile court, or pending child abuse investigation. The term “pending” on the results of a child abuse history clearance means that the applicant is currently under investigation as a perpetrator of suspected child abuse. Clearances will not include information on general protective services assessments, which are non-abuse cases where services are provided to prevent potential harm to a child. The purpose of requiring clearances is to provide employers and those selecting volunteers with information to use as part of a larger decision-making process when determining whether to hire someone as 21
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
an employee or select them as a volunteer. A clearance does not replace a thorough interview and selection process. Clearances are required for an employee when the individual will: • Be responsible for a child’s welfare; or • Have direct contact with children, meaning they are providing care, supervision, guidance, or control to children or they have routine interaction with children. Clearances are required for an unpaid adult volunteer when the individual will: • Be responsible for a child’s welfare; or • Have direct volunteer contact with children, meaning they are providing care, supervision, guidance, or control to children and they have routine interaction with children. These clearances may include the following: • Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Certification; • Pennsylvania State Police Criminal Record Check; and • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Criminal History Background Check (required for employees and some volunteers). An agency or organization is prohibited from hiring employees or selecting volunteers for a position involving children if the individual was named as a perpetrator in a founded report of child abuse committed within five years preceding when the clearance was verified.

Over the course of 2016, the average processing time for a Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Certification was six days, about one day less than in 2015. The CPSL mandates that requests for these certifications be completed within 14 calendar days. Agencies and organizations must ensure that clearances are obtained in accordance with the CPSL. To determine whether you, your staff or your volunteers are required to obtain clearances, please see the fact sheets at www.KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov. The website also has information on how often employees and volunteers need to submit updated clearances, and the fees associated with clearances. Information on how to obtain the required clearances is also available, including the ability to submit and pay for the Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Certification online.
FBI RECORDS REQUESTS
INDIVIDUAL BACKGROUND CHECKS AND RESULTS
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION RECORDS REQUESTS INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK OR VOLUNTEER with children in certain circumstances are required to obtain a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) background check before working with or volunteering with children. The data in this section reflects a compilation of all individuals who have applied for the fingerprintbased federal criminal background check. The following individuals are required to obtain an FBI background check as part of the clearance process: child care services employees; school employees; foster parents; adult household members in foster homes; prospective adoptive parents; individuals providing child care services under contract with a child care facility or program; and adult household members of family living homes, community homes for individuals with an intellectual disability, and host homes for children. Adult volunteers who have not lived in Pennsylvania for the last 10 years must also obtain FBI background checks. Adult volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania for the last 10 years and swear or affirm in writing that they have not been convicted of any of the prohibitive crimes listed in Section 6344 of the CPSL are not required to obtain the FBI background check. For more information on FBI and other required clearances, please visit www.KeepKidsSafe.pa.gov. 23

2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
Otherwise, the CCYA prioritizes the response time to assure that children who are most at risk receive an assessment first. CCYAs must complete their assessment within 60 days of receipt of a report. As with CPS reports, the CCYA must also provide or arrange for services necessary to protect the child and any other children in the home. Upon completion of the assessment, the CCYA must immediately notify the department: • If the report was determined to be valid or invalid; and • If the family was accepted for services, referred to community services, or the case was closed. Determining that a report was valid means there was merit to the allegations. Conversely, determining that a report was invalid means there was no merit to the allegations. If the family was accepted for services, the CCYA must also immediately notify the department upon the closure of services. Unlike CPS reports, the determination made on a GPS report is not used when processing
a Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Certification, nor does submission of the outcome after the 60-day timeframe impact the final outcome determination. Timely submission of GPS outcomes is monitored and reviewed as part of the department’s licensure of CCYAs. CCYAs also have the ability to screen-out GPS reports. The decision to screen-out a GPS report is made on a case-by-case basis by the CCYA and could be due to a number of different factors including, but not limited to: • Information Only – The child/family requested information only and no other concerns exist warranting an assessment; • Referral to Other Community Services – A child/family will benefit from other services in the community, which can best address the child/family’s needs; • Referral Did Not Allege Abuse or Neglect Concerns – The referral did not allege concerns that warrant the CCYA performing an assessment and there are no child safety concerns; • Courtesy Visit – Another state or agency has requested an assessment; however, C O N T I N U E S O N PAG E 2 6

GENERAL PROTECTIVE SERVICE REPORTS BY COUNTY
This map uses the number of children with valid allegations for every 1,000 children in each county. This approach takes into account different population sizes and allows for counties to be examined in comparable terms. There was a wide range in the number of children with valid allegations, with Columbia (69.4) and Northumberland (61.1) having the highest rates and Montour (2.1) and Chester counties (3.9) with the lowest rates. The average for rural counties was almost double the average for urban counties: the rural rate was 27.6 and the urban rate was 13.9. 27

THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES’ CHILDLINE AND ABUSE REGISTRY is the central clearinghouse for all reports of suspected child abuse and general protective services reports. The toll-free hotline, 1-800-932-0313, is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to receive reports of suspected child abuse by phone and electronic submission. ChildLine staff ensure that reports are transmitted to county children and youth agencies, law enforcement officials, or the appropriate OCYF regional office for investigation or assessment. If the report is made directly to the county, the county is required to transmit those reports to ChildLine. Additionally, county children and youth agencies and OCYF regional offices submit the outcome of child abuse investigations and general protective services assessments to ChildLine. Substantiated reports of child abuse and valid general protective services reports are recorded in the statewide database.
• Of the 44,359 reports for suspected abuse, 68% were made by phone, 11% were received by county agencies and electronic transmission, and 21% were received directly through the online reporting system.

2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
PENNSYLVANIA’S CHILD WELFARE SYSTEM is responsible for a wide range of services to abused and neglected children, and dependent and delinquent children. Funding provided by the state and county agencies for all services annually is $1.461 billion; $1.063 billion state funds and $398 million county funds. While an additional $350 million in federal funds were spent on services, none of those funds were used for investigations and assessments. More than $232.727 million was spent by state and county agencies to investigate reports of suspected child abuse, assess general protective services reports and related activities. Of the $232.727 million, $217.079 million was spent by counties. The state government spent the remaining $15.648 million to fund personnel costs (salaries, benefits, and operating costs) for the percentage of time OCYF headquarters staff and ChildLine staff performed child abuse and general protective services related work ($11.793 million), and personnel costs for OCYF’s regional staff who performed child abuse investigations ($3.855 million). Personnel costs for OCYF headquarters staff were $936,571. ChildLine personnel costs were $10.856 million. To obtain the total expenditures for county agencies to conduct alleged child abuse investigations, refer to the individual county pages in this report. These numbers do not reflect total expenditures for all services provided by the county agencies. NOTE: The expenditure data reported in the 2015 Annual Protective Services Report did not include expenditures for General Protective Services. As a result, it will appear that there is an increase in expenditures from the prior year. ALL DATA PROVIDED WAS EXTRACTED ON 04/10/17.
The CCYA is required to do the following when a newborn is relinquished through Safe Haven: • Make diligent efforts within 24 hours to identify the newborn’s parent, guardian, custodian, or other family members and to notify them of the whereabouts of the newborn and the reasons that the newborn was taken into protective custody; and • Assume responsibility for making decisions regarding the newborn’s medical care, unless otherwise provided by court order.
SAFE HAVEN OF PENNSYLVANIA 1.866.921.SAFE (7233) | www.secretsafe.org THE DEATH OF BABY MARY, a newborn infant who was murdered by her mother and left in a dumpster in 2001, prompted the enactment of the commonwealth’s Newborn Protection Act and the Safe Haven Program. Safe Haven’s purpose is to protect newborns who might otherwise be abandoned or harmed. The Newborn Protection Act allows a parent to relinquish a newborn up to 28 days old at any hospital or police station. As not all police stations are staffed 24/7, parents should only relinquish newborns at police stations when staff are present. The parent is not criminally liable if the newborn has not been a victim of suspected child abuse or another crime. A newborn who is relinquished through Safe Haven is placed into foster care in a pre-adoptive home through the CCYA. 30
2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
In addition, CCYAs are required to provide outreach and counseling services to prevent newborn abandonment. CCYAs and the department conduct continuing publicity and education programs aimed at the prevention of newborn abandonment. To ensure that accurate information about Safe Haven is available, the department maintains a statewide, toll-free helpline, 1-866-921-SAFE (7233), and the Safe Haven website, www.secretsafe.org. Additional information regarding the Safe Haven program and educational materials can be found on this website. The statewide helpline provides information about Safe Haven and also allows callers to speak directly with someone to find the location of the nearest hospital or police station. In 2016, the helpline received 48 calls, with the highest number of calls received in June immediately after a public awareness campaign. In 2016, two newborns were relinquished: one in Union County (Central region) and one in Warren County (Western region). Since the law was enacted in 2002, a total of 29 newborns have been received as Safe Haven infants by Pennsylvania hospitals and police stations. These infants have come from 22 counties, with most relinquishments occurring in the Western region of the state (14 infants); half of those were from Washington County alone (seven infants). The Central region had the second highest number of infants relinquished at nine, followed by five in the Southeast and one in the Northeast.
FEDERAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACT SUBSTANCE-EXPOSED INFANTS
SINCE 2003, THE CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ACT (CAPTA) has included requirements to ensure appropriate notification is given to child protective services agencies to address the needs of substance-exposed infants. On July 22, 2016, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) was enacted to expand the requirement for the development of a plan of safe care for infants born and identified as being affected by substance use or withdrawal symptoms from prenatal substance exposure or Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. This is to ensure the safety and well-being of infants following release from the care of health care providers, including addressing the health and substance use disorder treatment needs of the infant and affected family or caregiver. CARA also added requirements relating to data collection and monitoring. The opioid epidemic does not discriminate — it affects Pennsylvanians from all walks of life. Pennsylvania has established Centers of Excellence, which will serve as a central, efficient hub to assist people with opioid-related substance use disorders, ensuring individuals receive behavioral and physical health care, including any evidence-based medication-assisted treatment needed.

2016 PENNSYLVANIA CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES REPORT
Pennsylvania successfully expanded its Medical Assistance program. As a result, there has been a recent increase in demand for all treatment services. Pennsylvania is committed to ensuring the availability and accessibility of a continuum of services to meet individual needs. As such, Pennsylvania leads the country with the first women and children’s residential treatment program ever established and 17 such programs are available statewide. Additionally, 19 specialized women’s recovery houses exist statewide. Eight non-hospital residential facilities are capable of admitting pregnant women and women with children. Pennsylvania is committed to the development of a single policy agenda supported by multiple system partners that addresses primary prevention, substance use screening and referral to treatment, coordination of care for the infant and mother, development of protocols for plans of safe care for the infant, and tracking of referral outcomes. The overarching goal is to take a public health and child safety approach to our coordinated response, ensuring there is community-based family-centered care to increase access; that follow-up is provided for the mother, infant, and family; and that plans of safe care are individualized and treatment focused. A cross-system stakeholder team has been convened and efforts are underway to issue policy guidance that ensures that appropriate screening tools are used to identify infants and caregivers affected by substance use disorder, to support the required notice to the child welfare system, and, most importantly, to ensure that plans of safe care are developed based upon child and family needs with services provided through a coordinated service delivery system.
