Protocols
One crucial component of DEC programs is the development of DEC protocols.
Such protocols outline the roles and responsibilities of each participating
agency in the event that children are discovered in a home where methamphetamine
or other drugs are used and/or manufactured. You may find the sample protocols
below helpful while drafting protocols for your community.
Protocols
More than
40 Kansas counties are engaged in the Drug Endangered Children process.
Sedgwick County
and the Southeast Kansas Drug
Endangered Children Program
led the way in Kansas, with methamphetamine lab protocols in place since
2001 and 2002 respectively.
