(b) In all cases, an effort will be made to verify the address with the youth's parent or guardian.

(c) All attempts to contact the parent or guardian, and the results of those attempts will be noted in the chronological record in the youth's case file.

(2) County of residence for youths in substitute care placements, such as foster care, will be where the dependency case originated for the youth. Street address information recorded in the JJIS will be that of the Department of Children and Families or its contracted agency district office or service center for confidentiality purposes.

(3) Address verification procedures are to be included in the annual refresher training on the JJIS given to department JPOs and contracted providers responsible for intake.
