This is a multidisciplinary training for professionals working in the child welfare community and legal/judicial system to understand the purpose and proper use of a Court-Ordered Investigation. A family court judge may order the child protective service of the appropriate social services district to conduct a child protective investigation as described by the Social Services Law and report its findings to the court: (a) in any proceedings under this article, or (b) in order to determine whether a proceeding under this article should be initiated. (g) Where the court issues an order under this section, the child protective investigator shall within three business days prepare a report to the court detailing his or her findings and any other actions that have been taken pertaining to the child named in the report and any other children in the household. (h) Nothing in this section shall limit the court's authority to issue any appropriate order in accordance with the provisions of this articleafter a petition has been filed. Corrigan v. Orosco, 84 A.D.3d 955; 921 N.Y.S.2d 893 (2d Dept. 2011) (Suffolk County Family Court) Appellate Division, Second Department: “there was absolutely no indication of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment of the subject children raised in the custody petition or in any proceedings, and the Family Court had before it no other information regarding suspected abuse, neglect, or maltreatment of the children. Accordingly, the Family Court improvidently exercised its discretion in directing the DSS to perform a court-ordered investigation in connection with this custody proceeding”. This training will help unravel the complexities of how to use a COI.
