Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 12, March 26, 2025
(a) General. Sections 430.8 -430.12 of this Part establish the department's utilization review regulations for foster care and preventive services cases. These standards require that family relationships are sustained whenever possible, that each child's interests for sound and permanent relationships are protected, and that appropriate services are provided to every client. To these ends the standards provide that:
(1) every family with a child at clear risk
of foster care placement receives preventive services to improve the family
relationships and prevent the placement;
(2) only children who must be removed from
their families in order to be provided proper care, nurturance or treatment are
placed in foster care;
(3) children
in foster care are placed in the least restrictive, most home-like setting
possible; and
(4) every possible
effort is undertaken to prepare each child and his family for the discharge of
the child.
(b) All documentation required in sections 430.9 -430.12 of this Part shall be recorded in the form and manner required by OCFS and specified in Part 428 of this Title.
