Family-based safety services are protective services provided to a family whose children are not in the conservatorship of the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). DFPS's Child Protective Services (CPS) Division provides family-based safety services to families and children that need CPS assistance to:
  (1) protect the children from abuse and neglect;
  (2) help the family reduce the risk of future abuse or neglect; and
  (3) prevent the removal of the children from their home.
