A triggered review is conducted for what purpose?

• A. After a minor incident with no interventions
• B. To review a specific child’s placement, treatment plan, and orders or recommendations for intervention because a certain number of interventions have been made within a specified period
• C. To train staff
• D. To plan a new environment

Answer: (B)

A triggered review is a formal check started after a defined number of interventions have occurred for a specific child within a set period. Its purpose is to re-examine that child’s placement, treatment plan, and the orders or recommendations for intervention to determine whether the current approach remains appropriate, safe, and effective, and to decide if changes to placement, services, or intervention strategies are needed. This process looks at patterns over time, not single events, to ensure decisions are responsive to ongoing needs. It is not about staff training or planning a new environment; those are separate activities.
