The FAD worker must include in all plans for achieving compliance with the Minimum Standards:

  •   specific actions or changes that must occur for the foster home to achieve compliance;

  •   time frames for the actions or changes that must occur for the foster home to achieve compliance, and the consequences for failing to achieve compliance;

  •   a determination of whether children can remain in the home before it achieves compliance; and

  •   a determination of whether new placements can be made in the home before it achieves compliance.

To ensure that the home achieves compliance, the FAD worker must either re-inspect the foster home or obtain documentation from the home showing that all deficiencies are corrected. The FAD worker must document that the foster parents have corrected all deficiencies, using the Quarterly Assessment in IMPACT.
