When is the initial Safety Assessment Plan due?

  1. 3 days from the date the intake was received.

  2. 4 days from the date the intake was received.

  3. 6 days from the date the intake was received.

  4. 6 days from the date face-to-face contact with the vulnerable adult is made.

The correct answer is: 6 days from the date face-to-face contact with the vulnerable adult is made.

The due date for the initial Safety Assessment Plan is based on the requirement to prioritize the safety and well-being of the vulnerable adult. It is crucial to conduct a thorough evaluation and establish a plan that addresses immediate safety concerns promptly after making face-to-face contact with the individual. By allowing six days from the date of this contact, the process ensures that the assessment team not only gathers firsthand information but also has adequate time to analyze the situation and develop an appropriate plan based on direct observations and interactions. This approach supports a more comprehensive understanding of the vulnerable adult's circumstances and aids in devising tailored interventions to enhance their safety and support needs effectively.
