What must be done if a case manager changes while a child is in care?

When a case manager changes while a child is in care, it is crucial to inform all involved parties. This ensures continuity of care and support for the child, as well as maintaining communication between all stakeholders.

Keeping everyone informed—such as the child, caregivers, and any relevant professionals—helps to facilitate a smooth transition and reduces the risk of miscommunication or disruption in the child's care plan. Involving all parties ensures that the new case manager is brought up to speed on the child’s history, needs, and goals, which is essential for effective case management and ongoing support.

Effective communication among all parties involved in a child's care is paramount to fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes the child's well-being and stability in their care situation. This approach promotes a holistic understanding of the child's circumstances and helps in crafting appropriate interventions as needed.
