If there is CAS involvement in a case, that means there is a child protection concern. These concerns must be dealt with before our program can take on the case.
Once the CAS has investigated and determined that there are no protection concerns, we may book an intake to determine if the file is appropriate for our services. In advance of an intake interview, we would require written consent from both parties to obtain confirmation from the CAS that the investigation has concluded and for the CAS to inform APCO of the outcome.
