Before moving the child or youth from the current caregiver, the caseworker must review the completed Form 2279 Placement Summary. The purpose of this form is to enhance continuity of care for the child by documenting what the current caregiver knows about the child. The caseworker uploads this form in OneCase under the Child’s Placement Records tab.

If the child or youth is leaving a contracted placement, the caregiver must complete the form before the child or youth’s discharge.

If the child or youth is leaving a kinship caregiver’s home, the caseworker asks the kinship caregiver to complete the form. However, if the kinship caregiver does not complete the form, then the caseworker must complete it.
