3.5 Children’s Service Worker and Supervisor Considerations
Decide which service needs of the family must be addressed immediately and which can be accomplished within a maximum 90-day timeframe. Service needs that need to be addressed immediately, where child safety is an issue would require an assessment of safety and the development of a safety plan.
To help the Children’s Service Worker and supervisor weigh the demands of the case, the Children’s Service Worker should estimate the "in-person contact frequency" and the "service intensity" that the case will require. These estimates should be based on the most recent SDM risk assessment or (CS-16e) risk reassessment.
