If a child or youth is away from his or her licensed paid placement, the caseworker, with supervisory approval, must discuss the plan or intent for the child or youth to return to the caregiver or provider following the temporary absence. If the caseworker does not intend to return the child or youth to the placement, the caseworker must inform the provider or caregiver of the decision. The caseworker must end the placement with the effective date agreed upon with the provider.
