2.1 Criteria for Not Opening a Case
IThe Children’s Service Worker may determine that Division services are no longer required by assessing the current risk factors and determining if any changes in the family's circumstances since the CA/N investigation, or initial referral, can justify case closure.
When criteria for closing exists, the Children’s Service Worker will:
- Conduct a CS-16E Risk Re-assessment;
- Consult with a supervisor regarding CS-16E risk level, current circumstances and service needs;
- If supervisor and worker mutually agree that criteria exist the worker will close the case; and
- Worker will document closing reasons on the CS-16E.
