P1 refers to which scenario?

• A. Alleged abuser has DIRECT access to the child - immediate action must be taken within 24 hours
• B. Alleged abuser has POTENTIAL access to the child
• C. Coordination with CPS worker
• D. Alleged abuser has NO access to the child

Answer: (A)

P1 targets the highest urgency in a child safety situation: when the alleged abuser has direct access to the child. That direct access means danger could be present right now, so the protocol calls for an immediate response within 24 hours to secure the child’s safety. This is why describing a scenario where the abuser has direct access and requires action within a day is the correct interpretation. If the abuser only has potential access, or no access, the situation isn’t as immediately dangerous, so the urgency is lower and the action timeline differs. Coordinating with a CPS worker is part of handling the case, but it doesn’t define the P1 scenario itself.
