This two-day advanced-level course is designed to empower Emergency Response (ER) social workers and supervisors with the knowledge and skills to effectively apply Safety Organized Practices (SOP) tools and principles in conjunction with Structured Decision Making (SDM) to their critical work in investigations, safety planning, and identifying and executing the appropriate level of intervention with families. Building upon a foundation of SOP, this course equips participants with the expertise to navigate complex situations, assess safety threats, develop collaborative and comprehensive safety plans, and engage a family’s network of supports in the safety planning or the out of home placement process.
Prerequisite: Completion of the SOP Foundational Institute is required to attend this training.
