Handbook Revision
August 11, 2009
This revision of the SWI Procedures Handbook was published on August 11, 2009. Summaries of new or revised items are provided below.
Documentation of Reports From Law Enforcement of Family Violence in RCL Foster Homes
The item below is revised to include instructions for SWI staff about documenting reports from peace officers involving family violence incidents in foster homes. These instructions are based on revisions to Chapter 42 of the Human Resources Code.
Such reports are documented by SWI and forwarded to CCL according to current SWI policy and procedure. The new instructions clarify the specific content of the documentation. See:
5432 Law Enforcement Reports of Family Violence in RCL Foster Homes
To accommodate this new item, 5430 When the Victim Is 18 or Older has been renumbered to become 5431, and 5430 is now a new introductory heading. A cross-reference to the renumbered item was updated in the item below. No other changes to policy and procedure were made in this item. See:
