ACL is highlighting the latest in effective and promising Adult Protective Services (APS) practices with updated voluntary guidelines for state APS systems.

In 2016, experts in the field of APS and adult maltreatment developed the guidelines to capture the best research available on what works in APS and similar systems.

Since then, ACL has updated the guidelines every two years to incorporate new research, promising practices, and critical thinking from the field.

The effort reflects ACL's commitment to supporting states in developing effective APS systems that ensure adults are afforded similar protections and services, regardless of their state or jurisdiction.
