| (a) A child-placing agency, including a single source
continuum contractor, may waive any of the following pre-service training
requirements for a foster parent if the agency determines that the
requirement is not directly related to the ages and number of children
the foster home will care for and the types of services the home will
provide:
(1) General pre-service training;
(2) Normalcy; or
(3) Emergency behavior intervention.
(b) After waiving a pre-service training requirement
for a foster parent, an agency must reevaluate the waiver if, within
the first year, there is a change in the foster home's verification
with respect to the ages or number of children the home can care for
or the types of services the home can provide. If the agency determines
that the waived preservice training is directly related to the ages
or number of children the home can care for, or the types of services
the home can provide, the foster parent must complete the training.
(c) You must document:
(1) any determination that a waiver of pre-service
training is appropriate for a foster parent; and
(2) any re-evaluation of the foster home due to changes
to the ages or number of children the home can care for or the types
of services the home can provide.
