Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes
The changes to Chapter D. of the Child and Family Services Manual are the result of legislation passed during the 2022 Session of the Virginia General Assembly to include the new requirement that notice of the relative approval process must be provided within 15 calendar days to a prospective kinship foster parent when that individual expresses an interest in becoming a kinship foster parent, the new requirement that a local department of social services must provide a clear and specific explanation of the reasons for denying a relative from becoming a kinship foster parent, and information regarding the new appeal process for prospective relative foster parents.
