The Child Safety and Permanency Division, with the Department of Children Youth and Families (DCYF), is hosting two duplicate webinars about foster care policy requirements when placing children with complex needs.

- Types of placement settings including crisis respite in hotel settings, crisis respite or residential services in child foster residence settings (corporate child foster care/group homes), shelter care in licensed residential facilities, children’s residential facilities, Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (PRTFs) and in-patient treatment in a hospital
- Placement authority definition, types of placement authority and when placement authority is required
- Foster care placement policy requirements
- Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) and placement data entry in SSIS
