Section 749.592 - What are the requirements for debriefing a child after an unauthorized absence?
Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025
(a) After a child returns to the foster home from an unauthorized absence, the foster parent, or other appropriate person, must conduct a debriefing with the child as soon as possible, but no later than 24 hours after the child's return. The purpose of the debriefing is for the child and the foster parent, or other appropriate person, to discuss the following:
(b) The foster parent must allow the child to return to routine activities, excluding any activity that the foster parent determines would be inappropriate because of the child's condition following the unauthorized absence or something that occurred during the unauthorized absence.
(c) The debriefing must be documented in the child's record, including any routine activity that would be inappropriate for the child to return to and the explanation for why the activity is inappropriate.
