DCS Talks with Rebecca Bevans who is the Director of Training and Program Development in the Office of Child Safety at the Department of Children’s Services. The Office of Child Safety and its investigators train for and carry out the work of investigations, and they often coordinate their work with law enforcement, child advocacy centers and prosecutors. This division also supports the preservation of families and one way they incorporate that into their practice is through taking a deep look at recurring issues families face and take action in the way we approach our work. In honor of October being Domestic Violence Awareness month, we have asked Ms. Bevans to discuss the work the department is involved in around addressing domestic violence and how it intersects with child welfare.
