CASE REVIEW COMMITTEE
EMERGENCY REFERRAL GUIDELINES
The Case Review Committee (CRC) of the State Children’s Services Facilitation Team (SCSFT) meets on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Referral information must be submitted to the MNC Office by the third Tuesday of the month to be considered for staffing. In the event the County Children’s Services Facilitation Team (CSFT) is faced with an emergency situation, which warrants immediate attention the following steps should be followed:
 |
The County CSFT should staff the child locally. If the County CSFT is unable to address the child’s special needs, the County CSFT Chairperson should contact the MNC Office to obtain approval to proceed with the emergency protocol. If approved, the MNC Office will notify the CRC members that the referral has been deemed an emergency. A copy of this notification will be provided to the County CSFT Chair. The County CSFT Chair will notify the local CSFT to contact their state counterparts (see CRC membership list). The County CSFT will be provided with guidance regarding the steps to take to address the child’s needs prior to the CRC staffing.
|
|
Once a child is staffed by the CRC, the County CSFT can contact the MNC Office to obtain the results of the CRC staffing. The official SCSFT meeting does not occur until the second Tuesday of the month but if the child is approved for services, the MNC Office can assist the County CSFT in initiating the needed service prior to the official SCSFT staffing.
