When a staff member makes a visit at the respite provider’s home, contact with all household members should be documented.  However, only initials should be utilized when making reference to children in Division custody.  This is true of all current and previous placements in the household.  Resource family records are not confidential and may be requested by the public.  Using initials only will maintain confidentiality of the children in Division custody.

The Placement Report for Foster Home Record, CD-104, shall be maintained in the forms section of the file with the names, placement and removal dates of all children in the resource family home.  This form will be removed prior to the records being made public.
