   1. (a) A lead agency-managed safety plan is still necessary;
   2. (b) Supervision is court ordered, or
   3. (c) The child has reached age 18 and remains in extended foster care.

2. (2) Prior to terminating any services case, the case manager shall complete a progress update in the child welfare information system and/or a Judicial Review Social Study Report (JRSSR). The case manager shall also determine whether there is an open or pending child protective investigation or whether within the previous three (3) months a child abuse, neglect or abandonment report has been received on any child in the case. For both court ordered and non-judical cases, if any of these situations apply, the supervisor of the case manager supervisor shall be required to review and approve the case closure before a non-judical case may be closed or a recommendation may be made to the court to close a court ordered case.

However, when a JRSSR is prepared at the time of the request to terminate supervision, it may be used as a termination summary to provide the information needed by the court to make the termination decision.

   2. (b) The termination summary or JRSSR shall include:

      1. Reason for Department involvement,

      2. Progress toward resolving the issues that resulted in Department intervention; current status of safety, and an explanation of case plan outcomes that were met and those that were not; and,

      3. The reason for termination.

3. (3) For court ordered in-home protective supervision, supervision shall not be terminated until authorized by court order.
