Verified foster parents or approved adoptive parents are not required to attend another information meeting if DFPS verified or approved them during the 12 months preceding their attempt to foster or adopt.
In this case the FAD worker must:
• discuss changes in services or programs that have occurred since the previous verification or approval; and
• ensure that foster or adoptive parents have received DFPS training during the past 12 months on preventing, identifying, treating, and reporting child abuse, neglect, and exploitation.
The FAD worker must document this discussion in the foster or adoptive parents' case file in IMPACT.
