{"report_id":356,"form_id":"22","user_id":81,"organization_id":13,"question_id":"321","question_type":"Free_Text","text_answer":"Case was open as child welfare assessment on 12\/20\/2016 for prenatal exposure concerns to unborn child. CW assessment was reassigned to new worker on 01\/17\/2017 due to previous worker out on extended leave.  (Previous worker had made face to face contact with mother in December).  Worker uses an engagement approach during the child welfare assessment prior to baby's birth to build rapport and offer services for the mother. Also gather's names of relatives for future reference if needed. Worker did not identify risk to any sibling children and did not note significant history for the mother or father. \r\n\r\nChild was born on 01\/13\/2017. Face to face observation of the subject child and interview with the mother occurred. PSOP services were discussed on 1\/18.  \r\nMultiple attempts to reach hospital social worker occurred on 1\/18, 1\/26, and 1\/30. On 1\/30, reached the hospital social worker, and learned the mother tested positive for THC, no other illicit drugs. Worker make new CP report when learned mother tested positive for THC. \r\n1\/30\/2017 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Family Assessment opened and case notes for face to face contacts were documented from previous work with the mother and observation of the child on 1\/18 face to face during the child welfare assessment. Meconium for subject child was not screened. Hospital did not make new report to Child Protection about the birth of the baby and the mother testing positive for THC at time of child's birth. The CW Assessment completed and closed on 2\/21\/2017. \r\n\r\nIt is common practice for an open child welfare assessment for prenatal exposure to close and open as a family assessment at time of child's birth (depending on results of mother and newborns tox screens). For this case the mother tested positive for THC and child's meconium was not tested, so opening family assessment is common procedure, noting that the hospital hadn't reported either. The mother was cooperative, and was aware of the expectations from the child welfare assessment. It made sense to the worker to use the previous contacts given the flow of the already opened CW Assessment and opening of the FA assessment.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/26\/2021 2:06:15 pm","created_at":"5\/26\/2021 2:06:15 pm","id":35826}
