In SACWIS, what does the SACWIS Risk Assessment do?

A tool to schedule visits. A family-based risk tool in SACWIS that uses selected CANS items to rate risk for the entire family, applying the highest score for each factor across all members in the home. A report about school performance. A tool to identify funding.

Correct Answer:

A family-based risk tool in SACWIS that uses selected CANS items to rate risk for the entire family, applying the highest score for each factor across all members in the home.

Explanation:

Think of the SACWIS Risk Assessment as a family-wide safety check. It uses selected CANS items to rate risk for the entire family, not just one individual. For each risk factor, the highest score observed among all members in the home is used to represent the family’s level of risk. This ensures that the most severe risk in the household drives planning, safety decisions, and service responses. The other options describe tasks like scheduling visits, reporting school performance, or identifying funding, which are not what this risk assessment does.
