Practitioner And Network Roles
The practitioner controls plan acceptance and interpretation. Caregivers and network members may help shape feasible arrangements and provide review information about whether actions occurred.
Relevant Limitations
The tool is not a generic task tracker and does not compute unsupported safety conclusions. Arrangements must be observable, assigned, connected to worries, and reviewable.
Is this just a task list?
No. The plan is specifically for child safety arrangements linked to identified worries, everyday situations, assigned adult behaviors, and review evidence.
Can network members enter review information?
Yes, where invited. They may confirm role understanding, record whether an agreed behavior occurred, and add brief factual notes.
What happens if an arrangement is not observable?
It should be revised before being treated as active because observable adult behavior is required for the plan to satisfy its purpose.
Does the tool decide the child is safe?
No. It shows arrangements and review evidence. Practitioner interpretation of whether safety is adequate remains separate.
