| Purpose/Objective of Rule |
The proposed rule changes will remove language implying a sunset date for training and access to the Safety and Risk Assessment Tools to allow for a successful transition to the revised tools and for county departments of social/human services to be in compliance with rule. The Division of Child Welfare is in the process of piloting modified tools in three counties. Based on the experiences of these counties more time is needed to ensure the best tools are in place, with the appropriate instructions, training, and Trails modifications. The Safety and Risk Assessment Tools are utilized upon initial contact with the family to determine the safety of the child(ren) and the potential for future child maltreatment. These tools help to establish the appropriate level of intervention with the family.
Rules were promulgated effective January 1, 2015, that required training and access to the new tool by June 30, 2015 for county child welfare case carrying staff and supervisors performing high risk or traditional response assessments, and by December 31, 2015 for all other staff. Due to the need to modify the tools, instructions, training, and Trails, these deadlines cannot be met at this time. |
