Whether we are providing a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves, offering services to strengthen their emotional or behavioral well-being, or giving youth a chance at rehabilitation, we, at the Delaware Children’s Department, are changing the lives of the children and families of Delaware every day.

Our website serves to enhance the services and programs we offer, as well as to provide relevant information to the community. If you suspect a child you know is the victim of abuse or neglect, take action and contact our Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline at 1(800) 292 9582.
