If the caseworker finds DFPS history on anyone living in the home of the potential kinship caregiver, or on any regular visitors to the potential kinship caregiver’s home, the caseworker must document the information in IMPACT.

If there is DFPS history with a disposition of Reason to Believe (RTB) on a potential kinship caregiver or any household member age 14 and older, the caseworker must not place the child in the home, unless an exception is met.

If a placement is not made because of a DFPS disposition of Reason to Believe, the person who received the disposition and is designated as a perpetrator may request a Placement Review of Findings by a CPS resolution specialist to determine whether the findings should stand.
