E3 RED Teams for Child Safety: Review; Evaluate and Direct
Alison Book; Alissa Sykes; Cassie Quadrelli
Please attend this workshop to learn more about the
integration of Review; Evaluate; Direct (RED) teams into your practice. RED
teams provide a platform for an internal group decision-making process that
expands the ability of the organization to engage in advanced critical thinking
to match an accepted report of child maltreatment with a selected child
protective service response. RED teams involve the intake social worker;
supervisor; other staff and community partners in the process of determining
the appropriate level and time frame of a response to reports of child abuse
and neglect. CDSS has issued a draft All County Letter *due to be finalized
spring 2018* recommending the use of RED teams as a child welfare best
practice.
