- Administrative case reviews:
- Must occur if court procedures or hearings have not met the federal guidelines or timeframes for periodic review.
- May be used for other purposes as determined by the regional administrator.
- Caseworkers must give reasonable advance notice of the date, time, and place of review to:
- Child's tribe, if there is reason to know the child is or may be an Indian child.
- Relative caretakers
- Treatment Providers
- Other professionals who play a significant role with the family
- Individuals with responsibilities identified in the safety plan
- The family, if appropriate, if not present, their perspective should be represented;
- Foster Parent
- Child, if over 12 years of age
- With the exception of the guardian ad litem (GAL) and parents' attorney, parents must give written consent to the attendance of others at the review. Caseworkers must encourage such permission. Foster care providers often have valuable information about the child's daily life, medical, educational and emotional condition. They may be invited into the review without parental permission but only for the purpose of giving information about the child's adjustment to out-of-home care and to give the reviewers information on the child's current condition.
