Reports and reviews of supported out-of-home care
(1) This section
applies in relation to a child or young person in respect of whom supported
out-of-home care is provided under section 153.
(2) The authorised carer of
the child or young person must submit a self-assessment report to the
designated agency having supervisory responsibility for the child or
young person, at least once in every period of 12 months that the child or
young person is placed in the supported out-of-home care with the
authorised carer.
(3) The self-assessment report is to address any matters
that may be required by the designated agency (including verification that the
child or young person resides with the authorised carer and of the need for
on-going provision of support).
(4) The designated agency must conduct a
review concerning the child or young person- (a) if the authorised carer dies,
within 21 days after the death, and
(b) before a planned change of placement,
and
(c) within 21 days after an unplanned change of placement.
(5) A review,
in considering the needs of the child or young person, is to have regard to
the following- (a) the legal status of the child or young person,
(b) the
issues that need to be addressed while the child or young person is in
supported out-of-home care, what is to be done and who is to undertake
responsibility,
(c) the responsibilities of all parties concerning care,
(d)
any special requirements of the child or young person relating to culture,
language, religion or disability,
(e) the appropriateness of making a
care application.
(6) At the conclusion of a review, the designated agency is
to determine- (a) whether restoration of the child or young person to family
care is possible and, if not, how the parenting needs of the child or
young person are to be met, and
(b) whether a care application should be made
to provide for the reallocation of parental responsibility in relation to the
child or young person.
