Utah Admin. Code R512-32-5 - Preparation for Placement in Foster or Out-of-Home Care
(1) Prior to placing a child with a
communicable disease, or upon discovering that a child has a communicable
disease, the caseworker, in collaboration with the Fostering Healthy Children
nurses, will contact the local health department in their area for consultation
to define the precautions necessary to mitigate any health risks to
others.
(2) After consultation with
the local health department and prior to placing the child, the caseworker
shall hold a professional staffing, including the child's primary care medical
provider, to identify the best placement to meet the child's needs.
(3) Once a placement is identified, a Child
and Family Team Meeting will be held to address the child's health issues and
make sure the caregiver is willing to participate in maintaining the safety of
everyone involved. Additional education and training will be provided as
necessary.
