Safety Management Services Sample Clauses

Safety Management Services. (Department of Children and Families) – specific plans, arrangements and actions taken by Child Protection Services for the time being based on a) the presence of threats to child safety and b) the absence of sufficient caregiver protective capacities to assure protection.

Safety Management Services. Safety Management Services shall be provided to UNSAFE families when the need for a Present Danger Safety Plan is determined by PCSO CPID for children to remain safely in the home when informal safety management services are not available or appropriate. PCSO CPID is assigned as primary on Safety Management Services cases and is responsible for the safety determination for the children in each case. PCSO CPID shall determine the level of intervention necessary to manage the identified safety threat and ensure the home environment is stable enough for safety actions and services. Safety Management services shall be accessible and available to monitor and control the danger threats by completing action-oriented activities identified within the Present Danger Safety Plan. PCSO CPID maintains responsibility and accountability for creating and updating the Present Danger Safety Plan, arranging the Safety Management Conference, and ensuring its implementation with Provider and the family. In addition, Safety Management Services (SMS) are available from the Safe at Home program in Pasco County and from the Family Works Program in Pinellas Co. However, each of these programs has only one (1) SMS advocate. Each of those program’s advocates can work with only approximately eight (8) families and need additional SMS staff to allow for better coverage, expanded usage of the program and better protection for children in their homes. Therefore, through FY 16-17 non-recurring, additional Safety Management Services SAFMS funding awarded by Eckerd Connects under this Subcontract, the Provider will provide additional resource support for these programs’ services by providing four (4) additional SMS workers in Pinellas County, at an approximate worker to family ratio of 1:8, where the SMS worker will provide supervision and management of 96 new/unduplicated families’ Safety Management Plans for an average length of stay of twenty-one (21) calendar days. These additional SMS services will support each family served by increasing protective capacities demonstrated by the parents, achieving beneficial behavior modification aspects for the family, providing basic parenting assistance and providing additional social connections.
