  2B: Screening Call Part 6: The Scale

Open the Assessment Summary you used during Session #1. We're going to watch the next portion of Kay's conversation with Kelly in a moment. As Kay explores the safety scale with Kelly, record the information Kelly shares in the section(s) of your Assessment Summary where those details fit best.

Note: How you define the end points of the scale (0 and 10) will vary. The end points may relate to safety, well-being, or some other type of success depending on the context of the case. Use your best thinking to inform the development of the end points in a way that will connect for the people involved in each screening call or assessment interview.

Group Discussion:

  • What did you notice about how Kay used the Safety Scale with Kelly?
  • What were the most valuable bits of information that came out of the scaling conversation between Kay and Kelly?
  • How did the scaling question help create a context of shared responsibility for the safety of these children?

Have a volunteer from your group enter notes about your discussion in the comment box below.
