In this course you will learn about the requirements of the Interstate Compact and Placement of Children (ICPC), including both sending children in foster care to other states, and receiving children in foster care from other states. In addition, you will learn how ICPC applies to ICWA cases. Your role and responsibilities from beginning to end are covered including the home study process, completing quarterly reports, and closing cases. Details about common violations, parent visits, and how to contact the headquarters ICPC team for support and guidance are provided.
This course was developed as part of Regional Core Training, but is available to DCYF staff beyond that point for review as needed. If taking this course outside of RCT, it will confer 0.5 credit hours.
