Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

Safety plans should be modified ______.

1. Once a year

2. Never

3. As needed

4. Every month

The correct answer is: As needed

Safety plans should be modified based on current conditions and needs. A once a year update may not reflect the latest hazards and precautions. Never modifying a plan would leave it outdated and likely ineffective. Updating every month may be excessive but safety plans should be responsive to changes in work conditions and environment therefore periodic changes are expected. As needed provides an appropriate balance to ensure that the safety plan is relevant and effective.
