The DCFS Head Start Agency System allows agencies, once registered, to receive DCFS referrals that fall within their service areas and age range. On this system, agencies will be able to continue the enrollment process or indicate the reasons for non-enrollment. DCFS social workers will then receive email alerts indicating the enrollment status.

Automated Referral Entry System
The Automated Referral Entry System (ARES) is a web-based application that allows DCFS Child Protection Hotline (CPH) to track all calls received by CPH including Consultations, Information to CSW calls as well as calls that become referrals in CWS/CMS. It provides an online single data entry screen for quicker assessments of child safety and is used as a backup system during CWS/CMS downtime. It also provides CPH the ability to capture data on calls that do not result in referrals in CWS/CMS for reporting purposes as well as for justifying allocation of resources.
Call Back Automated System
The CPH Call Back Automated System (CBAS) is a web-based application that provides Child Protection Hotline (CPH) staff the ability to manage overflow calls to their hotline in a centralized location. The application allows DCFS Supervising Children Social Workers (SCSWs) to record call information such as the caller name, callback number, address, and description of the reported abuse, electronically during high call volume times. Once all information has been gathered, SCSWs categorize calls so that Children Social Workers (CSWs) can retrieve call records, assess, and determine what should be documented in CWS/CMS and further investigated.
