4.1 Definitions and Purpose
At times the family and the Children’s Service Worker's best efforts to minimize risk to a child's safety, security and growth in his own home are unsuccessful, necessitating out-of-home placement. Selection of the most appropriate placement resource is guided by the assessment of the child's unique needs and personality, and the placement provider's capacity and skills in meeting those needs that are in the best interest of the child.
