A: The intention is for case plans to be completed in alignment with the Child and Family Team, with the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths Assessment (CANS) serving as the community metric assessment. The outcome of the CANS score and the identified areas requiring the most focus become the drivers for the case plan. Although we understand there are times when the shell of a case plan, or the beginning of a case plan, needs to be developed before the CANS is completed, there are circumstances where this occurs. As a result, the Project is working on other options and workarounds. This is a very important issue, and the teams are actively working on a solution.
