One of the following conclusions shall be included in a written social services agency report of an investigation of child maltreatment:

(a) “Unfounded report” means a report which is determined by the investigator who conducted the investigation to be false, to be inherently improbable, to involve an accidental injury, or not to constitute child maltreatment, as defined above;

(b) “Substantiated report” means a report which is determined by the investigator who conducted the investigation, based upon some credible evidence, to constitute child maltreatment, as defined above;

(c) “Inconclusive report” means a report which is determined by the investigator, who conducted the investigation not to be unfounded, but in which the findings are inconclusive and there is insufficient evidence to determine whether child maltreatment, as defined above, has occurred.

In all actions in which a substantiated report of child maltreatment is confirmed, the Court shall order YSS to implement a Family Conferencing Plan as part of the services offered to the family. In any cases of an inconclusive report, YSS shall offer to the family appropriate services including a Family Conferencing Plan. [Ord. 46A § 1305, adopted, 3/24/2016.]
