Special Investigations staff investigates reports of child abuse and neglect related to Child Fatalities, Serious Injuries, Near Fatalities, Foster Homes, and Facilities.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) provides a more standardized approach to assessing these types of investigations while promoting a more collaborative partnership with community partners such as law enforcement, hospitals, Department of Juvenile Justice, etc.

Referrals for SIU can be made through your local county DFCS office.
