For more than a century, Summit County Children Services (SCCS) has improved the lives of abused and neglected children and their families by promoting child safety, permanency and well-being.

Every day, more and more children come to the attention of SCCS because of child abuse and neglect concerns. With the help of committed staff, social workers, foster families, volunteers and donors, SCCS strives to provide child protection services that enable our children to thrive in their own homes or that of our loving foster families and relatives.

Safety is paramount in all our decisions – no child should grow up in an environment of abuse or neglect.
