- 1. Foster Care Placement Washington State
Hinweis der Redaktion
- There are a lot of outside agencies that become licensed and contract with the Department of Social and Health Services to place foster kids. You must pick an agency that best serves your needs. All agencies and DSHS require you to have at least part time employment to be eligible for fostering children. Prequalification trainings are offered by DHSH, or the agency you go with will help you meet those qualifications. The home study participation is a written study that assesses the history of the family IE. kinds of potential social problems, drug and alcohol useand or abuse, family dynamics, and family member interactions.
- The applicant will have to fill out a series of forms as part of the process: An application to DSHS A criminal background check, obtain a driving abstract, and complete an orientation ( If this is done online you have to pass an orientation quiz)
- This is a sample application for obtaining a license through DSH to foster children.
- Background checks are essential in weeding out applicants who may not be appropriate for fostering children.
- This form can be submitted to the Department of Licensing with 10.00 dollars were they will process it and give you a copy of your driving record. The record is what needs to be submitted to DSHS. This is important for the transport of children. All DSHS employees and foster parents are required to submit a driving abstract.
- The PRIDE program offers three major trainings: 1. PRIDE pre-service which addresses recruitment, and preparing and selecting successful foster parents. 2. PRIDE CORE: In service training for new and current foster parents addressing competencies of fostering children. 3. PRIDE specialized and advanced training addressing how to work with teens, and children with issues of anger and violence.
- Though the social worker or care coordinator may not be specifically responsible for placing a child they may be required to participate in the process. Usually a person in this position follows up the initial placement by going to the home with child. Introducing the child to the family and tracking the progress of that child and family for the time the child is held in services. If it is a temporary placement or RESPITE (weekend breaks for parents or foster parents) Usually the Care coordinator or Social Worker directs the whole process of placing the child with the temporary foster family. The care coordinator or social worker also establishes a course of action plan for case aid support to introduce the foster kids into community activities and interaction. With a therapeutic case a crisis plan is also developed for the child and gives clear direction to the case aid in interacting with that child.
- The licensure typically is the professional meeting with the applicants to determine eligibility to foster. This person has to make sure that all pre-requirements are completed at the time of the parent applying or shortly after. The licensure does the initial home inspection to make sure it is up to standards for fostering. Toward the end of the process the licensure may do one more walk through with a checklist to make sure all the requirements are met. The family case study consists of a long report done by the licensure through interviews of the family members addressing the history and dynamics of that family.
