520			_aThis report evaluates the use of the Safety Assessment Form that was trialled by Child Youth and Family Services in Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Waitakere, Wanganui, Nelson and Timaru from 1 July 1999 - 31 January 2000. It focuses on the impact on CYFS staff, notification rates, and practice. Key findings were that rates of notification increased 14% across all sites. There was a tendency for police to over-identify children in need of statutory intervention. Referrals were assessed as requiring further action in 57% of cases as opposed to 77% over all other referrals. Only 5% of those were critical or very urgent, as opposed to 20.5% of all other cases. Overall, there had been a positive perception of the Safety Assessment Form. However, increased workload concerns were significant. Most CYF staff believed the form led to a closer working relationship with the Police, and that the POL400 form could benefit from modification.
