| Description of Subjects/Issues |
In 2012, the Child Fatality Review Team recommended that the Division of Child Welfare explore the implementation of a safety assessment tool for the Program Area 4 (PA4): Youth in Conflict - population. Additionally, counties and stakeholders expressed concerns that services being provided to the PA4 population lacked consistency between counties. This was largely due to a lack of rules implementing a minimum standard of practice for the PA4 population, which led children/youth to: (1) youth enter placement and cases opening without a caseworker ever meeting a parent in person or seeing the home; (2) youth remaining in care for extended periods of time; and (3) a lack of urgency in locating permanent placements for PA4 children/youth. These rules are intended to increase parent engagement, ensure that all families are assessed for safety and risk, and provide a minimum standard of practice in order to reduce unnecessary out of home placements by promoting the use of kin for out of home placements. |
