Nev. Admin. Code § 432B.220 - Objectives for children

A caseworker shall promote the right of a child to be with his family, fully exploring all alternatives to placement of the child outside his home. When temporary placement is necessary, it is to be made as close to the child's home as possible, with immediate plans established for the child's return home. When the child cannot be returned to his home, the caseworker shall seek a permanent alternative for the child. To carry out these objectives, there must be:

1. Implementation of a specific plan of services that is responsive to the child's needs and strengths, with active involvement of the parents in the planning process;

2. Delineation, within the plan of services, of specific goals, steps to accomplishment, and target dates for completion and evaluation;

3. Full use of any community resources necessary to meet the child's needs; and

4. An arrangement of regular and frequent visits with his parents and siblings for a child who is placed out of his home.
