MDHS/DFCS RESOURCE INQUIRY DATA SHEET
Protocol
The Resource Inquiry Data Sheet has been developed to assist Agency Resource Providers to certify and license families that meet the necessary requirements, to alleviate any problems and or concerns associated with families being licensed and or associated with multiple agencies and to notify the agencies if the identified family has current or past affiliations with MDHS. The inquiry sheet will be utilized as follows:
* When Provider Agencies receive inquiries from potential families, the inquiry data sheet is completed and faxed to DFCS Licensure Unit prior to a family attending any scheduled training
* Completed forms should be faxed to (601) 359-2390 or (601) 359-2550.
* Within 48 hours of request being received, staff will conduct the appropriate search and results sent back to the Provider Agency within 48 hours
* Once findings are provided to the requesting agency, all paperwork will be forwarded to the assigned Licensure Unit Staff person for filing.
