Wisconsin: as part of the child abuse and neglect investigation the social
worker assesses the child's need for protection and services. If the
allegation is substantiated and there is a need for services for the child
and/or family and the parents refuse to access the needed services, the social
worker can make a referral to juvenile court intake/court to request services be
mandated for the child and family even if there is no need for removal of
the child from the home. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=545380514-14052001>The
Department of Social/Human Services could enter into a informal/voluntary
agreement with the family called an Informal Disposition Agreement where the
family enters into a written agreement to access particular services for the
child/family, i.s. counseling, parent aid, etc. If the family refuses to
enter into an informal/voluntary agreement, then a referral can be made to court
with the request that a CHIPS (Child in need of Protection and Services)
petition be filed. If the judge enters a CHIPD order as a result of this,
it can include only an order of the service needs for the child/family without
any mention or need for placement of the child.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to know what states can go to court and get
services mandated for child abuse and neglect cases that have been
substantiated but are not needing removal of the children. Here in AZ families
can refuse services and the case gets closed. A large number of our
substantiated cases close with no services. We think this is really
problematic and want to advocate for change. Can anyone help. Thank
you.</FONT></P>

In Wisconsin, all child abuse and neglect investigative reports are
confidential. They can be released by the county department of social or
human services only to people/agencies specified in the law, minus any
information that would identify the reporter. Subjects of reports, this
includes the victim(s) and alleged maltreater(s), as well as the child
victim's parent(s), guardian or legal custodian are able to obtain a copy of
the investigative report. However, a parent, guardian, custodian or
maltreater may not re-release the report to anyone not specifically
identified in statute as able to obtain the report. In the county agencies
I have worked in, the agency person releasing the investigative report
usually has a conversation with the person requesting the report and
explains the law on re-releasing of investigative reports. Additionally,
the reports contain a statement at the top of the page that the record may
only be re-released in accordance with the law and the statute # is then
sited.

Subject: Abuse Records/Confidentiality Laws
I am trying to gather information on state laws
governing the confidentiality of child abuse records.
I would like information specifically addressing the
issue of perpetrators and custodians releasing child
abuse reports.
Your assistance is appreciated.
