(1) That the Division has found insufficient evidence of abuse or neglect; or

(2) That there appears to be by a preponderance of the evidence reason to suspect the existence of child abuse or neglect in the judgment of the Division and that the Division will contact the family to offer social services.

If the Division finds by a preponderance of the evidence reason to believe child abuse or neglect has occurred or the case is substantiated by court adjudication, a record of the report and information gathered during the investigation will remain on file with the Division.

If you disagree with the determination of the Division and feel that there is insufficient reason to believe by a preponderance of the evidence that abuse or neglect has occurred, you have a right to request an administrative review at which time you may hire an attorney to represent you. If you request an administrative review on the issue, you will be notified of the date and time of your administrative review hearing by the child abuse and neglect review board. If the Division's decision is reversed by the child abuse and neglect review board, the Division records concerning the report and investigation will be updated to reflect such finding. If the child abuse and neglect review board upholds the Division's decision, an appeal may be filed in circuit court within sixty days of the child abuse and neglect review board's decision.”.

(1) The purpose of the contact with the family;

(2) The name of the person responding and his or her office telephone number;

(3) The assessment process to be followed during the division's intervention with the family including the possible services available and expectations of the family.
