For each potential kinship caregiver being considered for placement, the caseworker must:

  • Conduct a search in IMPACT for any DFPS history on each person in the household who:
    • Is 14 years of age or older.
    • Is a regular visitor to the home.
    • Cares for the child (for example, a babysitter).
  • Check child abuse and neglect registry records in other states where each potential kinship caregiver has lived in the past five years, as applicable.
