Do I need a social summary for children under my care (except for interim facilities)?

(1) You must develop a written social summary for each child accepted for care within seventy-two hours but no longer than thirty days of the child's placement. The social summary must serve as the basis of the child's admission to your care.
(2) The summary must contain the following information for the child:
(a) Available copies of psychological or psychiatric evaluations, if any, on the child under care;
(b) A narrative description of the child's background and family that identifies the immediate and extended family resources;
(c) The child's interrelationships and circumstances that have brought the child into out-of-home care;
(d) The child's primary and alternate permanency plan;
(e) Previous placement history (if any); and
(f) An evaluation of the child's need for the particular services and type of care you provide.
