Background
• Alternative responses allow child welfare agencies to intervene with families by focusing on assessing families' strengths and needs and to provide services.
• In States that offer Alternative Responses, services are generally provided in cases of lower risk.
![Page 3: Alternative Response Review Rick Miracola. Background Alternative responses allow child welfare agencies to intervene with families by focusing on assessing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f355503460f94c52886/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Background
• Investigations are still conducted for allegations of: severe physical abuse, neglect and sexual abuse.
• Beginning in July 2010 Wisconsin began piloting Alternative Response in 5 of its 72 counties.
• Milwaukee, Eau Claire, La Crosse, Marathon and Pierce

AR Screening Values
• In eWiSACWIS, new screening values have been added to the worker and supervisor screening decision fields on the Access Report – Decision tab.
• These values are only available for selection by Alternative Response pilot counties; however the values are also viewable for non-pilot counties when in ‘read-only’ mode.
![Page 5: Alternative Response Review Rick Miracola. Background Alternative responses allow child welfare agencies to intervene with families by focusing on assessing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f355503460f94c52886/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
AR Screening Values
• The new screening values are:
– Screen In – ‘CA/N Primary - Alternative Response’.
– Screen Out - ‘Ref to Comm. Services’
![Page 6: Alternative Response Review Rick Miracola. Background Alternative responses allow child welfare agencies to intervene with families by focusing on assessing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f355503460f94c52886/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
AR Screening Values Filter
• The Screening values “filter” based on the type of Access Report.
• For example, ‘Screen In – CA/N Primary – Alternative Response’ will only appear under the screening reasons if the report is a Primary type of report. No secondaries.
• The type of report is determined by the ‘Relationship to Victim’ value(s) selected on the Allegation popup box.

After Screening
• After screening an Access Report in as ‘CA/N Primary - Alternative Response’, pilot only counties will then choose the type of Assessment they will complete.
• They will choose either ‘Traditional’ or ‘Alternative’ from the Assessment Type dropdown field at the top of the Initial Assessment – Primary page.

Assessment Type Selection
• Tabs on the IA page will be hidden or displayed based on the type of assessment that is selected.
• In addition, the tabs will be modified to capture necessary information that is included on the new AR template.
![Page 12: Alternative Response Review Rick Miracola. Background Alternative responses allow child welfare agencies to intervene with families by focusing on assessing](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062722/56649f355503460f94c52886/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Alternative View
• The Maltreatment and the Risk & Safety tabs disappear (i.e. dynamic change).
• In addition, you can see that the rating factors have been removed.
• In place of these changes, you see a new Tab called ‘Presenting Issue’ with an associated ‘Presenting CPS Issues’ group box and an associated text field.
• This is the location to: – “Describe the presenting CPS issue, family strengths and
needs. – Describe the issues occurring in the family that have
brought them to the attention of CPS.– Describe both strengths and needs identified in the family.”

Summary Tab
• The summary tab Displays for both Alternative and Traditional views with dynamic capabilities.
• For instance, if any text was entered into the Family Support Network field when switching from a Traditional to an Alternative Response Assessment the text will be saved and moved to the end of the Presenting Information text on the Presenting Issue tab.
• The Family Support Network group box on the Summary tab will then be dynamically hidden.
• Similarly, if any text was entered into the Presenting Information text field when switching from an Alternative Response Assessment the text will be saved and moved to the Family Support Network Field.

More on Switching between Assessment types:
• If a pilot county started an IA Primary and selected AR as the type of assessment and a worker from a non-pilot county opened the pending IA Primary, the page will open initially in view-only mode with an immediate pop-up page warning the user that making a change to the page will switch the type of IA Primary from an AR to a Traditional Response.
• If the user clicks ‘Yes’ to proceed, the IA Primary will switch to a Traditional Response and the AR information will copy into the narrative fields as described above. If the user selects ‘No’ to the pop-up page, the pop-up will close and the IA Primary will remain AR and disabled.
• The non-pilot county will be prevented from making changes to the page.
