| Permissible Values | Crisis Intervention | The children in the family are at imminent risk of out-of-home care placement. This refers to families where significant changes need to occur to avoid children being placed in alternative care and is available to families prior to the commencement of court proceedings for removal. Crisis interventions are usually carried out over 12 weeks. | ||
| Placement Support | Placement support is provided to carers where a child or young person is in their care and the placement has become unstable. Placement support is conducted over a 12 week period. The time can be reduced or increased depending on the needs of the child and/or carers. | |||
| Restoration | The children or young people in the family are unable to return home at this time without the involvement of the IFBS, and the out-of-home care period has exceeded three months (in cases where 'restoration' is listed as a case plan goal). Restoration work is usually carried out over 16 weeks, to allow suitable lead-in time of four weeks for IFBS Caseworkers to work with the child's immediate family before the child returns to the family home. |
