What is one method to close a case in child welfare?

  1. Automated system processing

  2. Contact parent, safety plan providers, GAL, service providers, supervisor and explain to the court

  3. Child reaches legal age

  4. Transfer to another agency

The correct answer is: Contact parent, safety plan providers, GAL, service providers, supervisor and explain to the court

When working with child welfare, it is important to follow the proper steps for closing a case. Options A, C, and D are not appropriate methods for closing a case in child welfare. Option A, automated system processing, refers to using a computer program or system to close a case, however, this should not be the only method used. Option C, the child reaches legal age, is not a comprehensive method and does not address any necessary follow-up or communication with involved parties. Option D, transfer to another agency, may be necessary in some situations, but careful consideration and follow-up must occur to ensure the case is properly closed. Option B, contacting all relevant parties and providing an explanation to the court, is the correct and comprehensive method for closing a case in child welfare. This ensures all parties are aware of the case closure and any necessary communication or documentation has been completed.
