About CAPMIS

Safety Assessment & Planning

The Safety Assessment supports the caseworker's decision of whether or not a child is in immediate danger of serious harm. The Safety Plan is a specific and concrete strategic action plan for protecting an unsafe child.

Family Assessment

The Family Assessment identifies conditions that underlie and perpetuate maltreatment (referred to as risk contributors) as well as identifying family strengths that support the parents' protective capacities and mitigate risk to the child. It also contains a risk classification tool that estimates the likelihood of future harm and supports the casework decision regarding intervention and services to the family. Case goals, objectives, and action steps will evolve logically from the assessment information and conclusions.

Case Plans, Reviews & SARs

The Case Plan identifies intervention services to address maladaptive behaviors that impact child abuse and neglect in order to affect change. The Case Review supports the caseworker's decision regarding the need for continued agency intervention and the need for a case plan amendment. The Semiannual Administrative Review (SAR) is the mandated review of the case plan and reviews whether services provided to families have impacted the child's safety, permanence, and well-being.
