What are the four stages of assessment in child welfare?

Information gathering, information analysis, drawing conclusions, decision-making
The likelihood of any degree of longer-term future harm/maltreatment
When a child in the household is not in immediate danger of moderate to severe harm
A pictorial representation of family connections

The correct answer is: Information gathering, information analysis, drawing conclusions, decision-making

The correct answer is A. The four stages of assessment in child welfare are as follows: 1. Information gathering: This is where relevant and accurate information about the child and their family is collected. 2. Information analysis: In this stage, the gathered information is analyzed to identify risks, strengths, and needs of the child and their family. 3. Drawing conclusions: Based on the analyzed information, conclusions are drawn about the safety and well-being of the child. 4. Decision-making: In the final stage, decisions are made regarding the appropriate interventions or services needed to ensure the safety and welfare of the child. Options B, C, and D do not accurately represent the stages of assessment in child welfare and are therefore incorrect. Option B relates to assessing the likelihood of future harm, option C talks about immediate danger, and option D refers to a pictorial representation of family connections, none of which are part of the stages of assessment in child welfare.
