Child protection services are government agencies charged with investigating cases of child maltreatment and identifying, assessing, and providing services to children and families in an effort to protect children, preserve families, whenever possible, and prevent further maltreatment. Such services are also sometimes known by other names, often attempting to reflect more family-centered (as opposed to child-centered) practices, such as "children and family services", "child welfare services" or even "social services."
