The Social Worker IA&T will receive intake calls from the community and interview the reporter to identify the allegations of child maltreatment and complete the Nash County Child Protective Services Report form to be referred for proper screening. The worker will receive referrals that meet the NC legal definition for neglect, abuse or dependency and, following the Multiple Response System, will conduct a family or investigative assessment to determine if the family needs further services to ensure the protection of children. The process involves reviewing agency records to be aware of family history, interviewing the parents, children, and collaterals, completing safety assessments, risk assessments, and strength/needs assessments throughout the fact-finding process. The worker will complete a comprehensive assessment and document all of the aspects of the family's life including their social activities, economic situation, environmental issues, mental health needs, activities of daily living, physical health needs, and a summary of strengths. (SEEMAPS) The work involves visits to the homes of clients, schools, medical and mental facilities, prison facilities and other agencies.

The worker will refer clients to community service agencies to address identified needs. The worker will follow standards outlined in Volume I. Chapter VIII of the Children's Services Manual and the Multiple Response Manual.
Decisions are often made under stressful and sometimes dangerous conditions. This requires a highly skilled worker who is very familiar with CPS policy, state and federal laws and agency expectations. Court action is necessary when a child is found to be at immediate risk of harm. The social worker will attempt to convene a Child and Family Team meeting to address the safety concerns and help the family consider appropriate options for the children. Depending on the emergent nature of the case, the worker will either work with legal staff to file a juvenile petition or assume non-secure custody. Placement options will be explored with a focus on the least restrictive environment. The worker will prepare the family and children for the legal process and separation if necessary.

Great precision is required in this work. The worker must correctly gather information to determine whether or not referrals meet the neglect/abuse laws; investigate each case according to standards to determine if neglect/abuse exists; correctly assess a child's safety needs; and continually assess a family during intervention to assist in alleviating problems which led to neglect/abuse. The worker analyzes situation and determines appropriate course of action immediately or in short time spans and often under very stressful conditions. These stressful conditions sometimes include confrontation with batterers of domestic violence, known felons, drug addicts and those with mental illness. The worker must be able to meet state standards and assure compliance with CPS policy. Documentation, time reports, day sheets, and other state and county forms must be completed accurately and timely.
B.Consequence of Error
