TX :: Child Protective Services Handbook :: 6400 Services to Children in Substitute Care :: 6461.51 Documentation and Review

When a missing child is recovered, the caseworker must ensure the required child recovery information is documented. The caseworker does the following:

  • Completes the initial required fields on the Child Recovery Detail page in IMPACT within 24 hours of the child’s recovery.
  • Completes the Child Recovery Detail page in its entirety within seven days of the child’s recovery.
  • Documents the child’s recovery information in a Contact Narrative in IMPACT, providing additional details of the missing event.

When a missing child or youth is recovered, the caseworker must screen to determine whether the child or youth was a victim of sex or labor trafficking during the absence and document the findings in IMPACT. Each Sex or Labor Trafficking event that is Suspected-Unconfirmed or Confirmed must be added to IMPACT as a trafficking record on the Trafficking Detail page.

See 6462 Confirmed or Suspected Victims of Human Trafficking for additional guidance on documentation requirements for victims of human trafficking.
