Participant Perspectives
Family or network perspectives can be captured separately during practitioner-facilitated review, while the formal statement remains practitioner-controlled.
Version History
Revisions preserve prior versions when statements have been used in meetings or planning.
Does this tool write the danger statement for the practitioner?
No. It organizes supported elements and flags missing or vague areas, but the practitioner controls the final wording.
Does it create a risk score?
No. The output is an explicit danger statement, not a risk level, score, or automated safety conclusion.
Can family disagreement be recorded?
Yes. Family or network perspectives can be captured separately from the practitioner-formulated statement.
Can there be more than one danger statement?
Yes. Multiple children or harms should be handled as separate statements or clearly separated references rather than blended concerns.
