Child and Family. Team (CFT)
Child and Family. Care leaves are not considered breaks in service for purpose of eligibility for employee benefits, longevity, or seniority under this Agreement.
Child and Family. Team is a group of individuals responsible for the development, implementation, and monitoring of a unified IPoC that engages and involves the Child and family. The Child and Family Team is composed of family members, significant people in the lives of the Child and family, and representatives of the community’s human services agencies that can provide needed services.
Child and Family. Teams (CFT)
40. Defendants will institute contract language by October 2012 requiring PIHPs to develop Child and Family Teams (CFT) consistent with the T.R. Principles and the Core Practice Model. Class members, especially those who are served by multiple child-serving agencies, whose individualized strengths and needs (as identified by a standardized assessment process) indicate that they would benefit by having a Child and Family Team should be provided an organized Child and Family Team. In such cases the CFT drives the treatment planning process for services and supports. The role of the CFT is expressly set forth at Appendix E.
41. Defendants will establish a process for CFTs to obtain authorization by PIHPs. The process will be defined no later than November 1, 2012, whereby an organized CFT, with the participation of the Duly Authorized Provider Representative (DAPR), has the ability to access services and supports included in the class member’s treatment plan.
42. In case of any disagreement between the DAPR and other CFT members regarding service recommendations, the DAPR works with the CFT to resolve any differences of opinion, with particular attention to the input and preferences of the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the enrolled child. When Agreement is not able to be reached regarding service planning at the CFT level, the DAPR helps unite the team in agreeing to try a particular service approach on an interim basis for a specified period of time during which the behavioral outcomes of the child are carefully monitored by the CFT. The team later reconvenes to consider the outcomes in relation to the services that have been provided and works together to make needed adjustments as time progresses. When deciding upon a service approach in the case of disagreement between CFT members, the DAPR gives as much or more weight to the opinions and preferences of the parent/guardian/youth as to any other member of the CFT.
43. Defendants will establish Agreements across the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) with child serving agencies requiring that local and regional representatives participate in CFTs (or care planning teams) for children served by multiple agencies.
44. Defendants will develop plans to provide guidance, training, supervision, and/or support to Child and Family Teams and informal care planning teams consistent with T.R. Principles and the Core Practice Model.
