When a sibling group is involved, the caseworker must consider the best interest of each child. DFPS must make efforts to place siblings together.
If it is necessary to separate siblings to achieve the appropriate permanency goal for an individual child, the caseworker must allow the child to have ongoing contact with the other siblings, unless the caseworker determines that ongoing contact is not safe.
See 4114.2 Separating Siblings.
