Existing law provides for the implementation of the resource family approval process and defines a resource family as an individual or family who has successfully met both the home environment assessment standards and permanency assessment criteria, as specified, necessary for providing care for a child placed by a public or private child placement agency by court order, or voluntarily placed by a parent or legal guardian. Under existing law, counties, as part of the resource family approval process, are responsible for ensuring that resource family applicants complete a minimum of 12 hours of preapproval caregiver training and that resource families complete a minimum of 8 hours of annual caregiver training. Existing written directives also require counties to ensure that resource family parents submit copies of certificates verifying completion of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid training no later than 90 days following resource family approval, and to verify that resource family parents maintain current certificates of CPR and first aid training.
