a) A goal of family reunification may be
established only if victim safety and continued recovery can be
assured.
b) The treatment provider,
in collaboration with the MDT, shall make recommendations regarding
reunification.

never take precedence over the safety of any victim.
2) If reunification is indicated, after
careful consideration of all the potential risks, the process shall be closely
monitored by the approved provider and the MDT.
c) Reunification may be considered only when
all of the following conditions are met:
1)
the offender has accepted full responsibility for the offense;
2) the victim has received treatment and an
advocate for the victim concurs with reunification;
3) the treatment provider and the MDT
conclude that the juvenile has made significant progress toward goals and
outcomes as evidenced in the quarterly review by the MDT; and
4) the treatment provider and the MDT have
determined that the parent/guardian has demonstrated the ability to provide
informed supervision and:
A) the
parent/guardian demonstrates the ability to initiate consistent communication
with the victim regarding the victim's safety;
B) the family believes the abuse occurred,
has received support and education, and accepts that potential exists for
future abuse or offending; and
C)

aftercare and includes evidence of a comprehensive understanding of the
offending behaviors and implementation of safety plans.
d) With the MDT, the treatment
provider shall continue to monitor family reunification and recommend services
according to the treatment plan.
1) Family
reunification does not indicate completion of treatment.
2) Reunification may illuminate further or
previously un-addressed treatment issues that may require amendments to the
treatment plan.
