Child Protection Assessment

"If there are reasonable grounds to suspect that a child is suffering or is likely to suffer Significant Harm, a Child Protection Assessment and Core Assessment is initiated. This normally occurs after an Initial Assessment and a Strategy Discussion.

Child Protection Assessments are usually conducted by a social worker, jointly with the Police, and must be completed within 15 days of a Strategy Discussion.

Where concerns are substantiated and the child is judged to be at continued risk of Significant Harm, an Initial Child Protection Conference should be convened."
