2.11.2 – Assessments of Parenting Youth

Introduction

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Practice Guidance

  • ​SSW will assess any parenting youth to ensure appropriate supports are provided if that parenting youth is placed in out-of-home care (OOHC) while parenting or expecting to give birth while in OOHC.
  • No petition should be filed on the parenting youth's child without specific allegations of abuse or neglect to that child. A dependency petition may be filed if the parenting youth has treatment needs that would not allow the youth and their child to be placed together.
  • Please refer to the Parenting Youth Tip Sheet​​.
