Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

(a) Within seven days after you admit a child into your operation, you must review the child's rights with the child and a child's parent, unless the parent's consent is not required. You must also provide the child and a child's parent with a written copy of the child's rights.

(b) Child rights must be written in:

(1) Simple, non-technical terms; and

(2) English, unless the person does not understand English. The child's rights must be written in the person's primary language, if possible.

(c) If the person you are informing has a visual or auditory impairment, you must explain the child's rights in a manner that is understandable to the person.

(d) The person you are informing of the child's rights must sign a statement indicating that the person has read and understands these rights. A copy of a timely signed "CPS Rights of Children and Youth in Foster Care" will meet this standard. You must put the signed copy in the child's record.
