TX :: Child Protective Services Handbook :: 4100 The Placement Process :: 4143.1 Notify the Parents

The caseworker must notify the child or youth’s parents about the initial placement or change in placement as provided in 6151.3 Notification Requirements and Schedule.

Use Caution and Consider the Safety of the Child or Youth and the Caregiver

If giving the parents information that could be used to find the caregiver is likely to compromise the child or youth’s or caregiver’s safety, the caseworker must ensure that the notification excludes all of the following:

  • The caregiver’s address.
  • Any other information that would reasonably lead the parent to be able to locate the child or youth at:
    • The caregiver’s residence.
    • Another location not arranged or approved by DFPS.
