Cedar County Community Partnerships for Protecting Children (CPPC) is a community based approach to child protection. Partnerships work to prevent child abuse, neglect, re-abuse, safely decrease the number of out-of-home placements, and promote timely reunification when children are placed in foster care. The long term focus of the Community Partnerships is to protect children by changing the culture to improve child welfare processes, practices and policies. The Community Partnership approach involves four key strategies which are implemented together to achieve desired results. In Cedar County our CPPC board is comprised of many different agencies serving Cedar County families. CPPC also represents Families First of Cedar County which is the group focusing on Child Abuse prevention in Cedar County. Together these two groups are working to help in supporting families and strengthening communities because protecting children is everyones business.
