2.1 Introduction to the Rights and Responsibilities of the Birth Parent(s) and Their Children

Parents and children shall be made aware of their rights and responsibilities during the initial contact and thereafter as necessary. Other Family Support Team members are aware of their rights and responsibilities through the training and orientation process, which occurs prior to involvement with a family.

The Children’s Service Worker shall present the parent with a Parent's Handbook, which describes in detail the out-of-home care process, as well as, the parent's rights and responsibilities. The Children’s Service Worker shall discuss the contents of the handbook with the parent at the time of placement.
