Child Protection and Permanency
Child Protection and Permanency, CP&P (formerly the Division of Youth and Family
Services, DYFS), is New Jersey's child protection and child welfare agency within the
Department of Children and Families. Its mission is to ensure the safety,
permanency and well-being of children and to support families.
CP&P is responsible for investigating allegations of child abuse and neglect and, if
necessary, arranging for the child's protection and the family's treatment.
The Child Abuse Hotline (State Central Registry) receives all reports of child abuse
and neglect 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. Reports requiring a field response are
forwarded to the CP&P Local Office who investigates. Find contact information for
CP&P Local Offices HERE.
After normal business hours, the hotline is linked with a statewide network of Special Response Units charged with the
responsibility of responding to reports. For more information about reporting child abuse click HERE.
Each year, CP&P contracts with many community-based agencies throughout the state to provide services to children
and families. Such services include counseling, parenting skills classes, substance abuse treatment, in-home services,
foster care and residential placement.
If a child has been harmed or is at risk of harm, CP&P may ask the county family court to place the child in foster care.
Foster homes are provided by caring individuals who have completed an extensive licensing program. Learn more about
becoming a foster parent HERE.
If the family court determines a child cannot be safely returned home from foster care, CP&P will begin adoption
planning. Learn more about adopting a child HERE.
