In order to really know if a child is safe or unsafe, we need to understand how the family functions. To do that, we have to understand what is happening in the six domains listed below: Nature of maltreatment? Circumstances of maltreatment? Child’s day to day functioning? General Parenting Views? Adult Functioning? Disciplinary Practices?
Safety Decision Making Threats of Danger (Out of Control, Immediate, Observable, Severe Consequences) +/- Vulnerable Child (Lacks ability to self protect) +/- Parent Protective Capacities (Vigilance, preparation and power to protect) = Safe or Unsafe
