Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

What is crucial for a safety plan to be effective?

1. Signed by the child

2. Involves only in-home strategies

3. Immediate effect, accessible and available

4. Long-term goals only

The correct answer is: Immediate effect, accessible and available

An effective safety plan should have immediate effects, be accessible and available to the child, and also have long-term goals. Option A is incorrect because a signed document is not enough to ensure the safety of a child. Option B is incorrect because safety plans should involve strategies that can be implemented both at home and outside of the home. Option D is incorrect because safety plans should also include short-term goals to address immediate safety concerns.
