What occurs when a report is classified as a Family Assessment?

When a report is classified as a Family Assessment, a thorough family assessment is conducted to evaluate the situation and needs of the family involved. This process allows trained professionals to gather information about the family's circumstances, dynamics, and any potential concerns related to child safety and welfare. The aim of a Family Assessment is to identify the strengths and needs of the family and develop a plan to provide support, address concerns, and ensure the well-being of the children within the family context.

This approach is often used when the situation may not warrant immediate intervention or removal of children but still requires attention to ensure the family's overall safety and stability. The goal is to promote family preservation while addressing any risks or issues that may be present.
