Child Protection Investigation Specialist (CPIS) Practice Exam

In SACWIS, where can you print all documentation?

1. Work Summary tab

2. Documentation tab

3. Decision tab

4. Final Report tab

The correct answer is: Decision tab

The Decision tab in SACWIS (Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System) serves as a crucial point where significant conclusions about a case are drawn. It is designed to compile the outcomes of investigations and assessments, making it the primary area for generating comprehensive documentation of those decisions. This includes not just the decisions themselves, but also the rationale behind them and any relevant findings that support the case worker's conclusions. Printing all related documentation from the Decision tab facilitates consistent communication among stakeholders and ensures that everyone involved in child protection is informed of the actions taken and the reasons for those actions. This function is vital for maintaining transparency and accountability in child welfare cases. Being able to access all documentation in one tab emphasizes the importance of thorough record-keeping and ensures that critical information is readily available when needed, supporting both ongoing case management and future evaluations.
