(1) The
caseworker will engage the child and family to assemble a child and family
team. A child and family team includes informal supports identified by the
family in addition to the service providers who are or will be working with the
family. The child and family team meets regularly and assesses the strengths
and needs of the Child and Family and Plans for the child's safety, permanency,
and well-being. Teaming occurs through ongoing information sharing and
collaboration.
(2) Assessing
informs the child and family team so that they know what they need to know to
do what they need to do. Assessing is a sequential process of gathering
information about the family's strengths and needs, analyzing the information,
drawing conclusions, and acting on those conclusions by developing a plan to
meet the identified needs. These needs are met through the effective
interventions that help the family achieve enduring safety, permanency, and
well-being. Assessing is an ongoing and evolving process throughout the case.

of the child and family team, including the parents and the child, if age
appropriate, shall assist in developing the child and family plan.

plan shall be provided to the parent or guardian.

copy of the child and family plan will be uploaded into eSign and made
available to the Assistant Attorney General, Guardian ad Litem, and legal
counsel for the parent or guardian.
(4) Children receiving in-home services shall
have a primary permanency goal and, if appropriate, a concurrent permanency
goal identified by the child and family team.
For court-ordered in-home services, both primary and concurrent permanency goals, when applicable, shall be submitted to the court for approval.

and a ruling is made by the assigned judge to terminate Child and Family
Services oversight.
