7.000 OVERVIEW OF CHILD WELFARE SERVICES - PROGRAM AREAS AND TARGET GROUPS

1. FOR 3, 4, 5, 6 AND 7 [Eff. 1/1/15] Child Welfare Services constitutes a specialized set of services defined at Section 26-5-101(3), C.R.S., that are intended to strengthen the ability of families to protect and care for their own children, prevent involvement or continued involvement in the child welfare system, minimize harm to children and youth, and ensure permanency planning. The goal shall be to support the intactness of families, when appropriate, through the provision of services aimed at stabilizing the family situation and strengthening the parents/guardians in fulfilling their parental responsibilities to their children. Intervention shall be guided by respect for the family's integrity, knowledge of the legal base for action, and sound social work practice.

The following principles shall underlie the provision of Child Welfare Services:

A. Children and youth shall have the right to be raised in an environment free from abuse or neglect preferably by their families of origin by providing reasonable efforts to maintain the family unit through the provision of in-home services.

B. Placement shall be considered when there is evidence that leaving the child in the home would jeopardize the safety of the child or community. Reasonable efforts shall be made to prevent placement or to reunite the family as soon as safely possible if removal is necessary. In determining reasonable efforts to be made, and in making such reasonable efforts, the child's health and safety shall be the paramount concern. A court may determine that reasonable efforts shall not be required; otherwise, reasonable efforts shall be made to preserve and reunify families.

C. Appropriate and culturally competent services that promote safety shall be provided to families, children, and youth in their own homes and in out-of-home placements.

D. Children and youth who have been removed from the care of their parents shall have the right to a diligent search according to Section 7.304.52 (12 CCR 2509-4) for extended family members who can be considered as placement resources, to be placed in a safe environment, to not be moved indiscriminately from one placement to another, and to have the assurance of a permanency plan.

E. Consideration of the child's age, culture, language, religion, and other needs shall guide the choice of all services provided. Race, color, and national origin of the child and the prospective parents are considered in foster and adoptive placements only in extraordinary circumstances.

F. Case planning shall involve the parents so that relevant services can be provided to permit timely rehabilitation and reunification.

G. Child Welfare Services shall be provided in collaboration with other community agencies on behalf of children, youth, and their families. Assessment tools or resources available through these community agencies shall be incorporated in the assessment, based on the culture and other needs of the family.

7.000.1 PROGRAM AREAS (PA) AND TARGET GROUPS [Eff. 1/1/15]

D. Program for Children and Families in Need of Specialized Services (PA 6) Program Area 6 services are to provide statutorily authorized services to specified children and families in which the reason for service is not protective services or youth in conflict.
