Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024

(1) Where a child, or the child and the child's parent(s), apply for Department services, as a result of a court referral, the Department shall treat the application in the same manner as a voluntary application for services, (110 CMR 4.01 through 4.11). A court referral generally occurs when the probation officer instructs the child or the child's family to contact the Department and apply for services.

(2) If any child is referred to the Department for services under circumstances which indicate the child may be in need of care and protection, the Department shall hold a case conference determine if legal action is warranted, and thereafter the Department may initiate court proceedings under M.G.L. c. 119.
