REVIEW OF XXXXXX CARE AND PREADOPTIVE PLACEMENT Sample Clauses

REVIEW OF XXXXXX CARE AND PREADOPTIVE PLACEMENT. The local social service agency is required by P.L. 96-272, Social Security Act, Title IV, Part E., § 475(5)(B) to conduct an administrative review of all voluntary and involuntary xxxxxx placements and preadoptive placements of Indian children not less than every six months unless such reviews are being conducted by tribal or state court. In any review of the xxxxxx or preadoptive placement of an Indian child, the local social service agency will notify the tribe, parent(s), Indian custodian(s), extended family members, and the child if over the age of twelve (12). Notice must be sent at least fourteen (14) days prior to the review. Each tribe in which the child is eligible for membership will receive notice and has a right to participate in the review and shall have access to all files and documents pertaining to placement. A child over the age of twelve also shall have a right to participate in the review. In reviews of xxxxxx placements where parental rights have been terminated, the parent(s) or Indian custodian(s) of the child will not be notified of the review and do not have a right to participate. At a minimum, the review will evaluate the suitability of the xxxxxx or preadoptive placement, including but not limited to the suitability of the placement under the Indian Child Welfare Act, the necessity of continuing the child in xxxxxx or preadoptive placement, and the prospect for terminating the placement and returning the child to the custody of the parent(s) or Indian custodian(s) or permanent placement of the child. The review will also evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of the services rendered to the child and family as they reflect the family’s Tribal values and beliefs, and efforts made to insure tribally appropriate contact with parent(s), Indian custodian(s), siblings, and extended family, regardless of age.
