The Idaho Child Protective Act, Child and Family Services Administrative Rules, and Child and Family Services practice standards define the laws, rules, and policies of the Idaho Child and Family Services Program.
The Idaho Child Protective Act is the general law that governs child protective services in Idaho.
Child and Family Services Administrative Rules clarify the law in greater detail and can be helpful to understanding more specific procedures.
Child and Family Services practice standards are internal to the program and provide guidance to Family Service workers. The standards are heavily influenced by best practices and federal and state laws. Practice standards outlining guidance for individuals receiving services through Child and Family Services can be found in this link to standards.
