SUBJECT: New/revised SOP added to Chapter 7C– CPS Case Planning regarding Utilization of the Prevention Plan
The purpose of this transmittal letter is to notify staff of new and revised SOPs as a result of amendments to 922 KAR 1:330 – Child protective services to include:
Revised SOP 7C.4.4 – Prevention Plan;
New SOP 7C.4.4(A) – Utilizing the Prevention Plan during Investigations or FINSA; and
New SOP 7C.4.4(B) – Utilizing the Prevention Plan during Ongoing Cases.
The new SOP procedures include utilizing the Prevention Plan during:
Investigations/FINSAs to address immediate safety concerns and eliminate the Safety Plan (form) previously used for this purpose; and
Ongoing cases to negotiate the secondary Family Level Objectives (FLO) and tasks as appropriate, which address family and child well-being issues and eliminate the Comprehensive Family Worksheet (form) previously used for this purpose.
The new/revised SOPs listed above are indicated by red print and are found in Chapter 7C – CPS Case Planning, located on the DPP online manual website at:
http://manuals.chfs.ky.gov/dcbs_manuals /dpp/chapters/7/7C%20CPS%20Case%20Planning.doc
The new/revised SOPs will be effective July 1, 2004 and supercedes all previously issued Standards of Practice or policy regarding this topic. The effective date of the SOPs coincides with the tentative approval date of the revised regulation. The SOPs are being sent well in advance to allow additional time for implementation due to the number of new/revised SOPs based on new/revised regulations tentatively scheduled for approval by July 1, 2004. If you have any questions concerning this transmittal letter, please contact Jeff Wright at [email protected] or (502) 564-6852 (x-4464).
