A safety plan, recorded when a child is at imminent risk, documents the steps that will be taken to protect the child and the actions to be performed by the participants of the plan. A safety plan is a voluntary agreement between the participants and the agency. If, after agreeing to the safety plan, the participants do not follow it, legal action may follow. See About assessment/investigations for more information.
