How often must a Safety Plan be reassessed?

A Safety Plan must be reassessed every 5 working days, primarily to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in addressing the child's safety and well-being. This frequent reassessment allows for quick adjustments to the plan based on changes in the situation, as well as the effectiveness of the strategies and interventions that have been implemented. Given that circumstances can change rapidly in situations involving child safety, this timeframe allows child welfare professionals to stay responsive and proactive. Regular reassessment is essential to protect children and provide timely support, facilitating better outcomes in their safety and stability.

Revisiting the Safety Plan every 5 working days ensures that social workers and other professionals involved remain engaged with the child's current situation and can swiftly implement necessary changes.
