Illinois DCFS, Foundation Launch Safe Haven Campaign

Campaign launched

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and the Save Abandoned Babies Foundation have launched a campaign focused on the state’s Baby Safe Haven Law.

The campaign’s purpose is to connect parents with information about the law. It centers on public awareness and access to information rather than a new law or a change to an existing policy.

Information for parents

The effort gives parents a way to find information related to the Baby Safe Haven Law. The campaign is aimed at helping parents learn about the law and understand where to find related information.

The announcement does not change the role of DCFS or the Save Abandoned Babies Foundation. DCFS is the state agency participating in the effort, while the Save Abandoned Babies Foundation is the partner named in the campaign.

Local relevance

The campaign is a statewide Illinois development with relevance for families and service providers in Warren County and elsewhere in the state. Parents seeking information about the law can use the campaign’s outreach as a starting point.
