Agreement Between Foster Parents and Licensing AgencySeptember 21st, 2016
In Minnesota, the local county/tribal social service agency is responsible for providing child welfare services. In many cases, the court system has oversight responsibility for foster care placement and permanency outcomes. When children are placed in foster care, their parent(s), the responsible agency (county or tribal agency that has responsibility for placement), the licensing agency and foster parents, all must work together to ensure a foster child’s well-being, safety and plan for permanency. This means all standards and policies set forth by law, and by the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Human Services, are understood and met. In some cases, the responsible agency and the licensing agency will be different. A summary of the responsible agency requirements is explained in DHS-0139A.
