A review of the Dept. of Social Services Adult Protective Services Program summary
South Carolina General Assembly, Legislative Audit Council
South Carolina General Assembly, Legislative Audit Council
Abstract
The Legislative Audit Council determined that it would review the Department of Social Services' adult protective services (APS) program. APS provides for the health and welfare of vulnerable adults who are victims of actual or potential abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation. Because DSS is the only entity legally authorized in South Carolina to investigate reports of noncriminal maltreatment of vulnerable adults in community settings outside of institutions, we believe that this program should be continued.
