Council adopts Service Coordination Mechanism with executive-group spending threshold
Summary
The Family Children First Council approved a Service Coordination Mechanism that defines three service levels and requires documentation of contact attempts; the council added an executive group to approve expenditures over $2,500.
The Family Children First Council voted to adopt a Service Coordination Mechanism that categorizes interventions into Level 1 (Informative-Light), Level 2 (Moderate) and Level 3 (Crisis Intervention). The mechanism sets a process for referrals that includes self-referrals and agency referrals, requires a signed Release of Information (ROI) and documents contact attempts; on the fourth unsuccessful contact the referring agency and the FCFC director are to be involved.
Council members added an executive group requirement for any expenditures over $2,500. The mechanism was described as "not intended to override any systems the family already has in place." The motion to approve the mechanism with the necessary amendments passed unanimously.
