(1) Within 24 hours of the Department learning of the arrest the Child Welfare Program Manager must make a determination whether a child or young adult may continue to be placed in the home, or whether the respite or child care provider may continue to be approved, based upon information available to the Department.

(2) If the arrest leads to a conviction a determination of the fitness of the individual must be made assessing:

(a) The details of the incident

(b) The social context of the incident

(c) When the subject individual is a relative or has a caregiving relationship with the child or young adult requiring placement, whether the placement may mitigate the trauma due to the existing relationship and whether the placement would provide for the child or young adult's safety, well-being and permanency.
