Revised 3-26-10

 

1.    Form 04KI005E, Child's Individualized Service Plan (ISP) is:

(1) completed within 30 days of the initial removal and placement of a child and updated within 14 days when subsequent changes, or a change of placement occurs, excluding a child returning to own home or placed in a shelter. Changes and updates are submitted to the court at dispositional, review, and permanency hearings;

(2) filed with the court in conjunction with Form 04KI012E, Individualized Service Plan (ISP), attached to Form 04KI013E, Individualized Service Plan (ISP) Dispositional Report, Form 04KI009E, Court Report, or Form 04KI014E, Individualized Service Plan (ISP) Progress Report when filed with the court.

2.  The Conditions of Removal and Why Out-of-Home Placement is Necessary are the sections of Form 04KI005E, Child's Individualized Service Plan (ISP), that assist the judge in making the finding of whether continuation of the child living in the home is contrary to the health, safety, and welfare of the child and whether reasonable efforts were made to prevent removal, or that an emergency existed that required the removal of the child.

3.   Preventive services.  The Child Welfare (CW) worker documents all preventive services provided to the family by the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (OKDHS) or any other community resource.

4.   Targeted Case Management (TCM) services.  CW ensures that every child receives the services required to meet the child's medical per OAC 340:75-6-88, educational per OAC 340:75-6-50, and social services needs.  The CW worker documents the provision of these services to the child by completing Form 04KI005E that includes selecting:
