Occurs on: Assessment, Responding to non-accidental injuries – multi-agency safety planning
Every tamaiti or rangatahi admitted to hospital with a suspected non-accidental injury will have a plan that guides our current and future work with them.
Assessment and planning
Responding to non-accidental injuries – multi-agency safety planning
We work collaboratively with professionals and whānau or family to secure the safety of tamariki with a suspected non-accidental injury.
Practice approach
Create, implement and review a written assessment and plan — guidance
I will create a written assessment and plan with each tamaiti and review them when required, in order to identify and address their full range of needs.
Practice approach
Recording casework
We document key actions and decisions for tamariki and rangatahi and their whānau or family so significant decisions are clearly evidenced and transparent, including how the information was gathered and how we have interpreted the information.
Intake, Practice tools
Considerations when developing a decision response
Pathways in response to a report of concern include no further action and refer to services.
Working with children and young people who are placed in a provider placement, supervised group home or residence
This key information provides information about social work and practitioner roles and responsibilities before, during and after a child or young person has been placed with a provider, in a supervised group home or in a residence.
Assessment and planning
Interpreters when English is not the first or preferred language
We support the use of interpreter and translation services when English is not the first or preferred language of te tamaiti or rangatahi or their whānau or family. A sign language interpreter may be required when we are working with someone who is Deaf.
Care
Supporting tamariki with their education and training needs
We support tamariki to access education services both to maintain their learning and to meet their specific educational needs. Good education outcomes are essential to good life outcomes.
Practice approach
Whakamana te tamaiti: Practice empowering tamariki Māori
I will apply the principles of Mana Tamaiti, Whakapapa and Whanaungatanga to my practice, in order to ensure I’m responsive to tamariki and whānau Māori.
Assessment and planning
When suicide risk is identified
When we identify suicide risk, we work together with te tamaiti or rangatahi, their whānau or family and other professionals to secure their immediate safety, and then develop a plan that will help te tamaiti or rangatahi restore oranga.
