The purpose of this memorandum is to make available alternative CPS Notice of Existence of Report letters. These letters (in word template form), which local social services districts are free to use as an alternative to the existing CPS Notice of Existence of Report letters that are generated through CONNECTIONS, were developed primarily to better emphasize that CPS can be a source of assistance to families. These alternative CPS Notice of Existence of Report letters inform subjects and other persons named in the CPS report that the family members’ own perception of their needs and strengths is an important component in CPS’s assessment of child safety.
