Consideration should always be given to holding an end-of-placement assessment meeting for children whose placement has been abruptly or not interrupted. For children whose placement for adoption is disrupted, a meeting at the end of the placement examination must be held – see interruption of the adoption placement procedure. Before deciding whether to place a child in a long-term care facility (whether or not this means switching to a new caregiver), the ability of the identified long-term caregiver to care for the child now and in the future should be assessed. The assistance and services necessary to ensure the stability and security of the dwelling and to meet the needs of the child should be taken into account the guardian`s previous experience with childcare, family configuration (including housing other children under care arrangements), existing relationship (if any) with the child, knowledge and skills and capacity he must be determined to care for the child in the long term within the framework of a care agreement. The child`s social worker must visit the child within one week of placement, then at least every six weeks in the first year, and then every six weeks (three months if accommodation is to last until the age of 18). For children in long-term care homes, visits after the first year should not be more frequent than six months – see social work procedures for children in care. If the proposed internship is an internal commitment, it is subject to the approval of the supervisor of the social worker. For each child in mediation, a separate CPS must be written and checked regularly. The child`s social worker updates the child`s electronic records with the details of the accommodation and ensures that the notification is sent to the financial department in order to trigger payments to the caregiver. At the time of accommodation, carers should also be given additional information about the details of the child`s daily needs, which are not covered by the placement plan/placement kit, but which are important to ensure that the carers are in the best possible position to help the child settle into the new accommodation. For example, special fears at night or the child`s favorite toy. When it comes to a first childcare service, it is also necessary for the social worker to contact the designated nurse for children in care to arrange a health assessment – see Health Care Assessments and Plan Procedure for more details.
