What does the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) require the Department to do?

  1. Enforce licensing regulations

  2. Investigate reports of child abuse

  3. Specify general duties and responsibilities of DCFS

  4. Extend assistance for foster care maintenance

The correct answer is: Investigate reports of child abuse

The Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act (ANCRA) requires the Department to investigate reports of child abuse. This is a critical responsibility mandated by ANCRA to ensure the safety and well-being of children in Illinois. While the other options may be duties or responsibilities of the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), investigating reports of child abuse is specifically highlighted in ANCRA as a primary requirement.
