Policies

LA law requires a consumer’s right to confidentiality. All written & oral information regarding NSU-FSC consumers must be registered as confidential & must be safeguarded to protect the rights of the consumers & their families.
A referral form must also be received for each child/family referred for services.
A staffing is a scheduled meeting with the referring caseworker & FSC staff to discuss the case referral.
If substance abuse is a presenting issue, the consumer must be actively engaged in substance abuse treatment &/or agree to participate in treatment before FSC services will be initiated.
A crisis referral is an unplanned, unforeseen event for which the family / consumer lacks resources to address & which places the family members of concern at substantial risk of not maintaining the safety, permanency & well-being of the child(ren) in the home.
The NSU-FSC will subcontract services with qualified professionals to secure the provision of accessible services to consumers.
Local qualified professionals will be secured & utilized first to provide accessible services & eliminate potential transportation issues for consumers.
In adherence to the Children’s Code, program staff & subcontracting staff are designated as mandatory reporters & are required by LA law to report all suspected cases of child abuse & neglect.
