Know Your Rights Toolkit: Know Your Rights for You and Your Family

This resource was created by the Center for the Welfare of At-Risk and Exploited individuals.

This Know Your Rights Toolkit is designed for parents and caregivers who may encounter Child Protective Services (CPS) due to allegations of neglect or abuse. The toolkit empowers individuals to navigate CPS investigations with confidence, ensuring they can advocate for their families and prevent unnecessary governmental intrusion.

This toolkit is also invaluable for community advocates, legal professionals, and organizations working to support families involved in the child welfare system. It equips them with a comprehensive understanding of the rights afforded to families and the strategies to enforce those rights effectively.
