Viability Assessments
The focus of a viability assessment is to ascertain the parent/carer’s capacity to engage with the assessment process; their understanding and attitude towards the concerns and an overall analysis of the family and environmental factors. A final recommendation is made of factors which may support or preclude a safe home.
