  1. 1300: In-Home Safety Assessment: A Closer Look At The Fourteen Safety Threats Booster Shot

  2. Agenda • Welcome and Introductions • The Fourteen Safety Threats • The Safety Threshold • Connecting the Fourteen Safety Threats and Safety Threshold Criteria to Practice • Summary and Evaluations

  3. Learning Objectives Participants will be able to: • Discuss the importance of gathering information by using the six assessment domains; • Interpret the 14 Safety Threats; and • Apply the safety threshold criteria to the 14 Safety Threats.

  4. Pennsylvania Safety Threshold Criteria Serious: Serious harm could include serious physical injury, significant pain, and suffering. • Vulnerable • A child’s vulnerability is based on their emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning; health; and ability to care for himself/herself • A vulnerable child is susceptible to the effects of danger and is unable to protection himself/herself from danger • Vulnerability is not based on age alone. A teenage youth with disabilities that affect his emotional, behavioral, or cognitive functioning may be more vulnerable to a threat of serious harm than a younger child without any disabilities. Out of Control When a condition is out of control, there is no apparent natural, existing means within the family network that can assure control. Observable & Specific The condition must be specific and observable in the form of behavior, emotion, attitude, perception, intent, or situation. The existence of condition is based on more than a gut feeling. The condition is clearly identifiable. Imminent-A Specific Time Frame Imminent means that serious harm could happen anytime within the near future-from later today, tomorrow, or up to but not exceeding 60 days.

  5. Safety Threshold Criteria as Questions • Serious: What serious harm will likely come to the child if the condition does not change? • Observable: What is observable & specific about the condition? • Out of Control: How is the condition out of control or how is the condition managed? • Vulnerable: What makes the child vulnerable or not vulnerable? • Imminent: What leads you to believe that the condition is or is not imminent?

  6. Safety Threshold Documentation • It is Serious/It is not Serious because… • It is Observable & Specific/it is not Observable & Specific because…. • It is Out of Control/It is not Out of Control because… • Child(ren) is(are) Vulnerable/Child(ren) is (are) not Vulnerable because… • It is Imminent/It is not Imminent because…
