CODE 81 – Extra Supervision -- Group/Residential Care:

Infrequently, a child requires extra one-on-one supervision in residential care for a limited period of time, to stabilize or transition the child to a setting that may better address the child’s needs. Prior to considering a request for extra supervision in a facility, the social worker must thoroughly review the situation to ensure that the current setting is indeed an appropriate care situation for the child for the time being. Or, is the child’s behavior such that hospitalization or another placement is required.

 

CODE 81 approval requires permanency planning, regional supervisor, and state foster care administrator prior approval. When granted, approval is for a specified one-on-one caregiver, for a set amount of hours per day at a specified rate, and for a limited period of time. It is rarely used, but available in special, limited circumstances.
