TO: Family, Children and Adult Services Manual Holders
FROM: Barbara E. Riley, Director
SUBJECT: Revisions to the JFS 01400, JFS 01402, and JFS 01413

This letter transmits revisions to the JFS 01400, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Family Assessment," the JFS 01402, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Ongoing Case Assessment/Investigation," and the JFS 01413, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Case Review," and their accompanying instructions.

Revisions include the removal of the emerging danger sections from all forms and instructions.

The JFS 01400, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Family Assessment," assists workers to assess risk and to identify strengths and needs present in the family system to determine what level of services the family needs. Included in the Family Assessment are a review of safety issues, child harm, strengths and needs assessment, family perception, risk assessment, and service planning.

The JFS 01402, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Ongoing Case Assessment/Investigation," assists workers to assess or re-assess risk, to discuss child harm and to document investigative activities when a report of child abuse and/or neglect is received on an open, ongoing case.

The JFS 01413, "Comprehensive Assessment and Planning Model - I.S., Case Review," is a re-examination of safety, risk and a discussion of the impact service provision has on the family system and assists workers in making permanency decisions.

The forms and their instructions will not be available in hardcopy from the ODJFS warehouse. They can be obtained on line at: http://www.odjfs.state.oh.us/forms/inter.asp.
