Illinois Child Welfare Employee License (CWEL) Practice Test

Which eligibility status qualifies an individual for Child Welfare Services?

1. Dependent

2. Delinquent

3. Minor Requiring Authoritative Intervention

4. Abused and/or neglected

The correct answer is: Abused and/or neglected

The correct answer is D. "Abused and/or neglected" qualifies an individual for Child Welfare Services because these individuals are considered vulnerable and in need of protection and intervention by child welfare authorities. Children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect often require the services and support provided by child welfare professionals to ensure their safety and well-being. Options A, B, and C are not correct because they do not specifically address the criteria that typically qualify an individual for Child Welfare Services. While these statuses may be factors in a child's life and may also warrant attention and intervention, the primary focus of Child Welfare Services is typically on children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect.
