This Structured DecisionMaking Framework provides child protective services that employ clearly defined and consistently applied decisionmaking criteria for screening for investigation, determining response priority, identifying immediate threatened harm, and estimating the likelihood of future abuse and neglect. The child's and family's needs and strengths are identified and considered when developing and monitoring progress toward a case plan. This section contains SDM resources, including state and local examples. You can use EdrawMax to create this Structured Decision Making Framework online to get started.
