Safety In CPS ‐ Impending Danger Virtual Training

Maximizing your Wi-Fi Bandwidth during a Zoom Class

Power down any unused devicesTurn off:• streaming devices• computers not in use• laptops/tablets not being used• printers or cable boxes that may use bandwidth

Disconnect devices from Wi‐FiDisconnect smartphones from Wi‐Fi, if possible• Under your device’s settings, turn off Wi‐Fi

Stream as little as possibleMinimize the amount of streaming while attending the Zoom Class• Examples: Netflix/Hulu/Game systems

Tips for Virtual Training via Zoom

• Use headphones if possible

• Mute your audio when you are not speaking.  This enhances sound quality for others.

• Participate!  The more interaction we have the more we learn from each other.

• Ask questions.  Use the raise hand function, enter question in chatbox or unmute yourself and let us know what you’re thinking.

• Create your learning space.  Have your handouts ready, paper, pen, highlighter, etc.

• Be forgiving.  We are all in this together.

Present Danger Threats at Access:

Child is currently being maltreated at the time of the report or contact

Severe to extreme maltreatment of the child is suspected, observed, or confirmed.

Parent is intoxicated (alcohol or other drugs) now or is consistently under the influence.

Present Danger Threats at Initial Contact Jared and Amanda:Initial Contact with Amanda and Jared:

Child is currently being maltreated at the time of report or contact

Severe to extreme maltreatment is of the child is suspected, observed, or confirmed 

Added: The child has multiple or different kinds of injuries

Ruled out:  Parent is Intoxicated

Present Danger at initial contact/ follow at Post residence:

Child is currently being maltreated at the time of the report or contact

Child is unsupervised and unable to care for self.

Parents are unable or unwilling to perform basic care.

Focus of the family

• Each child in the household must be assessed –regular or intermittent members

• All adults in the home are considered – regular or intermittent members

• What would danger look like if CPS were gone?

• Is the focus of my assessment the here and now?  A snapshot in time for this assessment period

Foreseeable state of danger in which family behaviors, attitudes, motives, emotions and/or situations pose a threat which may not be currently active, but can be 

anticipated to have severe effects on a child at any time in the near future and requires Safety Intervention.

Severity means . . .

• A reasonable judgment – cannot predict absolutely

• Consider the nature of the threat and the child’s vulnerability

• Use professional knowledge about how these conditions play out in families

• Past behavior gives some basis for consideration

Danger Threshold Criteria

Observable 

Condition is dangerous to child safety. Danger can be 

described, seen, understood 

Parent/Caregiver functioning that is 

dangerous to the child’s safety. It can be a behavior, emotion, attitude, perception, 

situation, often more than one in a family. Not based on soley on an incident.

Vulnerable Child

Dependent on others for protection and basic care. Susceptible, accessible and 

available to the threatening person. Assess each child separately in the 

family.  Factors to be assessed include age, physical disabilities, powerlessness, 

provocative, cognitive abilities… etc.

Out of Control

The condition is not being controlled internally by the individual or the family. 

The behavior or conditions’ impact on the child is not being controlled.  Without 

intervention, this will continue. May be going on all the time or random and  

unpredictable.

Imminent 

The behavior or condition is active or likely to 

become active within the near future, anytime 

within the next few weeks. May be going on now or episodic. It’s important to understand duration, consistency, influence.

Severity 

Reasonable judgment, cannot predict absolute. Consider the nature of the 

threat to child’s vulnerability, use 

professional knowledge of condition. Based on the observable condition and the factors that make the child vulnerable, what  is the likely severe harm to  

each child?

What Crosses the Danger Threshold in Inglehoff‐Carson Family (HO4 & HO5)

• Read the Inglehoff‐Carson Narrative (HO4)

• Work in your break out group to complete HO5

• Don’t just say yes or no, but be able to explain your justification to the large group

Determining the Impending Danger Threat

• Wisconsin’s Safety Intervention model includes 11 Impending Danger Threats

• Pick the best impending danger threat for the identified observable condition

• Ultimately, it comes down to your critical thinking process, your justification of why that Impending Danger exists in the family and best describes the safety threat.

Safety Related Information

● Extent of Maltreatment

● Circumstances surrounding Maltreatment

● Child Functioning

● Adult Functioning

● Parenting and Discipline Practices

Functions of Safety Assessment 

•Determining Safe vs. Unsafe  

•Identify and “Name the Danger”                  

•Describe the dynamics of danger

•Keep our focus and tracks danger across the case process      

Errors to Avoid in Safety Assessment

• Doing the Safety Assessment before gathering sufficient information

• Stopping at one Impending Danger Threat

• Using the Safety Assessment as a checklist

• One condition – multiple Impending Danger Threats

Post Safety Assessment Activity (HO10 & HO11)

• Review Post Narrative• Group Exercise to identify Observables

• Work in your break out group to complete HO10 and HO11

• Don’t just say yes or no, but be able to explain your justification to the large group

When Do We Assess Impending Danger Threats?

• By conclusion of Initial Assessment – primary 

caregiver

• Conditions in the Home Change

• New Report on Open Case

• Evaluation of the Case/Permanency Plan

When Do We Assess Impending Danger Threats?

• Prior to Reunification 

• Prior to Disengaging In‐Home Safety Plan

• Prior to Closing a Case

• Specific times of day/daily events?

RG 5

Post Family Activity (HO12)

• How long?

• How frequent?

• How predictable?

• Specific times of day/daily events?

Page 21

2: Can the family control the Impending Danger Threats without CPS?
