Kansas Department
of Administration Request for Proposals: Family Preservation
Services
This introductory
section describes the entire child welfare system. While not every
aspect of this introduction is germane to each contract, we
provide it for the information of bidders so that you will
understand our vision for the whole system of care. The Department
of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) is responsible to
ensure that children are safe, and have permanent, legal
connections to a family. When
the safety of a child is in question, concerned citizens make
referrals to the intake and investigation unit of the Department.
If upon completion of investigation or assessment, the
child and family can be served safely in the home with community
supports, SRS does not request removal of the child from the home.
It is always the goal of SRS to find effective and safe
ways for children to remain with their families and not have to
be placed within the foster care system.
