Under what condition are 'reasonable efforts' not required?

If there is clear and convincing evidence
When background checks are pending
If the court decides there are grounds for expedited TPR
After services and referrals are documented

The correct answer is: If the court decides there are grounds for expedited TPR

'Reasonable efforts' are not required if the court determines that there are grounds for expedited termination of parental rights. This means that the court has determined there is enough evidence to prove that it would not be in the best interest of the child to continue making attempts at reunification with the biological parents. The other options, such as A, B, and D, all involve situations where reasonable efforts are still required. For example, background checks may be pending but the court still requires that reasonable efforts be made to reunify the child with the parents. Similarly, after services and referrals have been documented, reasonable efforts are still necessary to ensure the parents are given a fair chance to reunify with their child. Only in the case of expedited TPR does the court decide that reasonable efforts are not required.
