Changes to Safety and Risk Assessment to Reduce Repeat Maltreatment
Program Description
Reducing repeat maltreatment among children and families in New York State is a goal that OCFS shares with local districts and foster care and preventive service agencies. As part of that effort OCFS has made improvements to the Safety Assessment and Risk Assessment Protocols. The changes have been supported in the CONNECTIONS system since October 10, 2008.
The purpose of this teleconference is to:
- Introduce changes in the safety assessment and the risk assessment profile
- Explain why and how these changes were made
- Familiarize participants with how the changes apply to casework practice, and
- Preview how CONNECTIONS supports the changes.
Target Audience
- Child welfare and CPS caseworkers, casework supervisors and managers at local district agencies and voluntary agencies.
