If a child is in DFPS conservatorship, the screener confirms that during the intake stage the following people received notification within 24 hours of the intake:
- The CVS or SSCC caseworker and supervisor assigned to the alleged victim.
- The CVS or SSCC caseworkers and supervisors assigned to any other children in a foster home under investigation.
- The CPI caseworker, if the child was recently removed from his or her home and has not been assigned a CVS or SSCC caseworker and supervisor yet.
The screener notifies the CVS or SSCC caseworker and supervisor by completing the Notifications section in IMPACT, prior to stage progressing the intake to an investigation.
The screener confirms the intake specialist sent the notifications. If the intake specialist did not complete the notifications, the screener informs SWI Policy and Performance Management (PPM). PPM facilitates the entry of the I&R CVS Caseworker Notification.
Exception: For all RCCI intakes received on weekends and holidays, the screener contacts the reentry queue to have the I&R CVS Caseworker Notification entered and emails PPM to inform them of the error.
