CONTACT_START_DATE |
A count of unique/individual children and young people involved in Risk of Significant Harm (ROSH) reports, during the reporting period.
ROSH threshold screening occurs at the DCJ Child Protection Helpline. A child or young person is at ROSH if the circumstances that are causing concern for their safety, welfare or wellbeing are present to a significant extent. This means it is sufficiently serious to warrant a response by a statutory authority irrespective of a family's consent (see References below).
