If at any time during the preparation of a family’s service plan information comes to light indicating that a child in DFPS conservatorship may be a Native American child, the caseworker must:

• get as much information as possible (see Form 1705 Indian Child and Family QuestionnairePDF Document); and

• consult with the attorney representing DFPS as soon as possible.

If the Indian Child Welfare Act applies, applicable legal requirements are significantly different. See 5740 The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA).
