The LOCP was developed for use by county child welfare and probation staff as a strengths-based approach for determining Board and Care rates. The protocol matches the individual care and supervision needs of foster children with a resource parents' level of support. The Home-Based Family Care rate (Board and Care Rate), including if applicable, an Intensive Services Foster Care rate is paid to a resource parent to support a foster child's placement in a family setting.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Describe the five domains on the LOC Matrix and when to apply the rate using the static criteria
- Complete the Level of Care Matrix and demonstrate use during class activities
- Identify the available materials and resources to use in the completion of the LOC Matrix
- Given the materials provided, create a plan for the delivery of a training to agency or other county staff on the intent, completion and scoring of the LOC and consider implications of county specific practice
