What does PDS stand for in child welfare context?

Personal Development Services
Preliminary Determination of Suitability
Pre-dispositional Study
Parental Discipline Standard

The correct answer is: Pre-dispositional Study

In the context of child welfare, PDS stands for Pre-dispositional Study. This refers to an investigation or assessment that is conducted after the court has made a preliminary determination of abuse or neglect in a child welfare case. It is designed to gather more information about the family dynamics and living situation of the child, in order to inform the court's decision on the child's placement and permanency. The other options are incorrect because A) Personal Development Services are often offered to individuals or families seeking personal growth or support, rather than being specific to child welfare cases. B) Preliminary Determination of Suitability is not a common term used in child welfare and does not accurately describe the purpose of a PDS. D) Parental Discipline Standard is not a term used in child welfare and is unrelated to the purpose of a PDS.
