    General Overview
    Persons who come to the attention of the Department of Social Services in need of protective services are those who are potentially abusive of their children or who are suspected of having abused or neglected their children. DSS caseworkers assess reports of child abuse/neglect to determine their validity. This includes determining whether the child is "at risk" of being abused or neglected and determining the family's need for support services.
    Intervention in child protection cases requires that a worker have both a working knowledge of a variety of treatment modalities and resource development skills. Sometimes this treatment intervention requires the temporary placement of children out of their home(s) to ensure their safety. Child protective services caseworkers also provide information and referral services to families requesting assistance not related to abuse/neglect. Return to top of page

    Prekindergarten and Parent Support Programs
    by David Denton Program impact
    Among the SREB states, the most impressive evidence of the effectiveness of early childhood education comes from South Carolina , which has been testing the readiness of children entering first grade since 1979 and has had a state-funded prekindergarten program for at-risk 4-year-olds since 1984. In 1979 only 60 percent of new first-graders met the state readiness standard; by 1998 that number had risen to 81 percent. South Carolina officials attribute the increase in readiness to the prekindergarten program, which served almost 30 percent of all 4-year-olds by 1998-99, and to the move to full-day kindergarten, which began in 1996. Readiness scores rose steadily following the introduction of the prekindergarten program, and by the early 1990s the passing rate for new first-graders had leveled off at about 75 percent. Then, in 1996-97, the Legislature provided funding for about one-third of students to move from half-day to full-day kindergarten. Funding was increased in each of the next two years until full-day kindergarten was available to all children in 1998-99.
    Between 1995 and 1997, the first year after full-day kindergarten became available, the number of new first-graders passing the readiness test rose dramatically, from 74 percent to 80 percent. The passing rate rose again in 1998, to 81 percent.

    The Cooperative Extension's Efforts to Impact Child Care
    January-December, 1997
    A survey conducted by the National Network for Child Care
    NNCC is reaching thousands of children and families through child care programs. As part of the effort by the National Extension Network to collect data about Extension's role in raising the quality of child care, a national survey was conducted.
    Thirty-one states (60%) and two territories (Puerto Rico and Guam) responded with data. Indications are that across the nation, Cooperative Extension is reaching hundreds of thousands of individuals in an effort to build quality child care for America.
    Of the 32 states responding, cumulative totals indicate that for calendar year 1997, Cooperative Extension reached over 134,500 child care providers. Of these, 8% were school-age child care providers, 23% were family child care providers caring for children in their homes, 16% were center-based child care providers and 1% were reached through community coalitions and child care councils. Fifty percent did not indicate a provider type.
    With a local presence in over 3,000 cooperative extension centers in the nation, educational programs are generally delivered locally to child care providers. In order to meet the scheduling needs of providers, learning sessions often must be offered in the evenings or on weekends. During the reporting year, over 32,500 individual training sessions were reported. Of these, 1,456 were for school-age providers, 1,877 were conducted for family child care providers, and 2,337 were for center-based child care providers.

    Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children A State Fact Sheet August 2002
    Across the country, more than six million children approximately 1 in 12 children are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. South Carolina has more than 113,000 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. In many of these households, grandparents and other relatives are the primary caregivers (“kinship caregivers”) for children whose parents cannot or will not care for them due to substance abuse, illness and death, abuse and neglect, economic hardship, incarceration, divorce, domestic violence, and other family and community crises. In response to the growing numbers of these kinship care families, state legislatures, public and private agencies, and grassroots coalitions in South Carolina and across the country have begun to expand services and supports for children living with kin inside and outside of the foster care system. A Look at the Numbers: Kinship Care in South Carolina The data below show the numbers of grandparents who are living in households with at least one grandchild under the age of 18, as well as the numbers of grandparents who are the primary caregivers for these grandchildren. These numbers were reported by the 2000 U.S. Census and are available for every place (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) in the country, including cities, towns, villages, and boroughs, on the U.S. Census website.
