The
New York State Office of Children and Family Services
(OCFS) was formed on January 8, 1998 by merging the former State Division for
Youth with the family and children’s programs administered by the
former State Department of Social Services. The agency was created to
improve the integration of services for New York’s children, youth,
families and vulnerable populations and to promote their development and
protect them from violence, neglect, abuse and abandonment.
The New York State Office
of Children and Family Services maintains a statewide Central
Register of Child Abuse and Maltreatment for reports made pursuant to
the Social Services Law. The Central Register, also known as the "Hotline",
receives telephone calls alleging child abuse or maltreatment within New
York State. The Central Register relays information from the calls to
the local Child Protective Service for investigation, monitors their
prompt response, and identifies if there are prior child abuse or maltreatment reports.
