I worked for the NYC Administrative for Children's Services.

I quit my position as a CPS because I had an excessive caseload (25 cases,) long hours (11pm,12pm,and 1am) and safety hazards. I worked for the agency for 10 months. It was difficult to stay on track because of the excessive distractions which I call "unknown variable." The agency failed to recognize that CPS have a million tasks to do, but I was always fighting time. Some examples include; Child Safety Conferences that when longer than usual, Brooklyn Family Court that sometimes when all day, Supervised visits, and home visits that sometimes included staying more than 15-25 minutes. There were unplanned emergencies that I would need to handle for my clients. However, the agency failed to understand that it was almost impossible to meet the strict deadlines for my Safety Assessments, Risk Assessments, and completing other clerical task. I was wondering if I have a case. Thank you.
