Statewide Intake (SWI) will receive reports from providers notifying DFPS that a child or youth in conservatorship is missing or has run away.  These Missing or Runaway reports are considered Situations That Always Require an I&R Call Regarding Existing CPS Case [sic, broken link] (I&R to Existing Case). SWI must generate the I&R to Existing CPS Case and notify field staff.  If the field office is open, standard routing processes will be followed. If the field office is closed, SWI will call out the I&R to Existing CPS Case to on-call staff.   

Note: Statewide intake is not the only vehicle by which notification can be received, as a child or youth may let their caseworker know they have left, placement may contact the agency, etc. Therefore, the above statement only applies when SWI receives the notification.
