When an operation is placed on HM, HHSC and DFPS notify the operation that it is being placed on HM, and then they send the following two notifications:

• Notification to DFPS staff (and the SSCC, if applicable), stating that the operation is being placed on HM.
• Notification to the primary DFPS or SSCC caseworker of each child already placed in the operation, stating that the operation is being placed on HM.

Once an operation is placed on HM, all new placements of a child into that operation must be reviewed and approved in IMPACT before the placement occurs.

See 4211.6 Placements into Operations on Heightened Monitoring (HM).
