In addition to any intake or I&R completed for another program, the intake specialist also completes an I&R to Existing CPS Case when a child in DFPS conservatorship is in any of the following situations:

• The child runs away or returns to the placement after running away.
• The child is hospitalized or requires urgent, unplanned treatment by a medical professional because of injury, trauma, or illness.
• The child is arrested.
• The child dies.
• The child’s placement is no longer working (also referred to as the placement “breaks down”), and the child needs to be moved to another placement immediately.
• A report indicates that the child is involved in human trafficking.

Note: These instructions also apply to young adults ages 18-21 in DFPS conservatorship.
