NORTH DAKOTA SAFETY FRAMEWORK UPDATE AND ANNUAL MEETING AND AWARDS
Matt Gebhardt and Kristi Ventzke │State Safety Update
The Safety Framework Practice Model for Child Welfare refers to all the actions and decisions required throughout the life of a case to assure that an unsafe child is protected, expend sufficient efforts necessary to support and facilitate a child’s parents/caregivers taking responsibility for the child’s protection, and achieve the establishment of a safe, permanent home for the unsafe child. North Dakota’s new Safety Framework Practice Model will increase consistency in our practice, provide a clear definition of safety, establish set criteria for removal and reunification, and identify and build protective capacities in parents and caregivers.
