Pennsylvania Safety Threshold Criteria
Out of Control
When a condition is out of control, there is no apparent natural, existing means within the family network that can assure control.
Observable & Specific
The condition must be specific and observable in the form of behavior, emotion, attitude, perception, intent, or situation. The existence of condition is based on more than a gut feeling. The condition is clearly identifiable.
Vulnerable
A child’s vulnerability is based on their emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning; health; and ability to care for himself/herself
A vulnerable child is susceptible to the effects of danger and is unable to protection himself/herself from danger
Vulnerability is not based on age alone. A teenage youth with disabilities that affect his emotional, behavioral, or cognitive functioning may be more vulnerable to a threat of serious harm than a younger child without any disabilities.
Serious: Serious harm could include serious physical injury, significant pain, and suffering.
Imminent-A Specific Time Frame
Imminent means that serious harm could happen anytime within the near future-from later today, tomorrow, or up to but not exceeding 60 days
.Slide5
Safety Threshold Criteria as Questions
Serious: What serious harm will likely come to the child if the condition does not change?
Observable: What is observable & specific about the condition?
Out of Control: How is the condition out of control or how is the condition managed?
Vulnerable: What makes the child vulnerable or not vulnerable?
Imminent: What leads you to believe that the condition is or is not imminent?Slide6
