Social Services

This section gives you a clear look at how child abuse and neglect cases move through Virginia’s Social Services system. The dashboards show what types of reports come in, how local agencies respond, and what happens as cases are assessed, investigated, or appealed. You can also explore information about the children involved, the types of abuse reported, and the relationships of alleged abusers. All data comes from the statewide Child Protective Services (CPS) system and follows Virginia’s reporting requirements.

Use these tools to see trends in your city or county. Choose a year, pick a locality, and the charts update to show what’s happening in your community. You can compare areas, look at different types of abuse, or see how many cases were accepted, investigated, founded, or appealed. These pages are meant to help you understand how CPS responds to reports and how cases move through the system from start to finish.
