Placement Preferences means the following: an Indian child’s tribe’s order of preference by resolution, public acts, records or judicial proceedings, shall be followed by the agency or court effecting the placement so long as the placement is the least restrictive setting appropriate to the particular needs of the child. 25 U.S.C. § 1915(c).
Placement Preferences means an Indian Child’s Tribe’s order of out-of-home placement preferences:
(a) Adoptive placements; preferences In any adoptive placement of an Indian child under State law, a preference shall be given, in the absence of good cause to the contrary, to a placement with (1) a member of the child’s extended family; (2) other members of the Indian child’s tribe; or (3) other Indian families.
(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care or preadoptive placements; criteria; preferences Any child accepted for ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Care or Pre-Adoptive Placement shall be placed in the least restrictive setting which most approximates a family and in which her or his special needs, if any, may be met. The child shall also be placed within reasonable proximity to her or his home, taking into account any special needs of child. In any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ care or preadoptive placement, a preference shall be given, in the absence of good cause to the contrary, to a placement with--
(i) a member of the Indian child’s extended family;
(ii) a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ home licensed, approved, or specific by the Indian child’s tribe;
(iii) an Indian ▇▇▇▇▇▇ home licensed or approved by an authorized non-Indian licensing authority; and
(iv) an institution for children approved by an Indian tribe or operated by an Indian organization which has a program suitable to meet the Indian Child’s needs. SCIT follows the Act’s Placement Preferences. An out-of-home placement of an Indian Child with her or his siblings or half siblings in a non-relative, non-Indian home does not meet the Act’s placement-preference requirements. This type of placement does not constitute a placement with “family” or with “relatives.” The child’s family, relatives, or kinship relationships must be determined with reference to the Parent (s) and/or Indian Custodian(s), and not with reference to other children in the placement home.
Examples of Placement Preferences in a sentence
If SCIT learns of a placement of a SCIT Child that does not meet the placement preferences set forth in the Act or this Agreement, upon notice from SCIT, the Department must cooperate with SCIT to remedy the placement so that it conforms with the Act, or the Department must show Good Cause Not to Follow the Placement Preferences.
