New York City's Children's Services produced this booklet to provide information about the New York State laws that protect children. This guide illustrates the difference between what caregivers perceive to be their rights and the reality of child welfare laws, helps caregivers understand the laws of the child welfare system, and provides a list of resources available to help caregivers access the assistance they may need.
A focused strategy to address domestic violence in New York City's children's services
system. This document provides valuable information and insight into this complex issue. In addition, it will
be useful to ACS staff, provider agencies and other public and non-profit service providers and professionals who
work with families. This strategic plan provides the strong foundation on which we continue to build a service
delivery system.
