Caregiver Assessment
All statements below must be answered “Yes” to approve the caregiver. When there is a “No”
answer, the worker should assess whether the provision of reasonable assistance or additional
services to the caregiver would enable the caregiver to properly respond to the child’s needs,
health and safety. If the worker later reassesses the caregiver and determines that conditions
supporting the No answer have changed sufficiently to answer Yes, caregiver approval may be
given at that time.
