The purpose of this letter is to share with you and your staff a series of case practice and risk assessment form completion guidelines that you may choose to adopt, if you haven't done so already. It is important to note that the guidelines do not create or suggest a new case documentation mandate. The focus of these optional guidelines is to provide our best thinking regarding the concept of "safety" as it specifically may pertain to those local districts and voluntary agencies who have decided to utilize the series of Risk Assessment and Services Planning Model forms for cases not involved with child protective services.
