APPENDIX F: DCYF FAMILY SERVICE REGIONAL OFFICE SERVICE AREAS AS OF APRIL 2001 As of December 2001, the RI Department of Children, Youth and Families is divided into four geographic catchment areas for ongoing child welfare case management purposes. Probation offices overlap have some overlap with these regional offices but do not have direct reporting relationships to Regional Directors, instead reporting through the probation chain-of command. Children’s behavioral health cases with ongoing case management needs that have no probation or child welfare involvement are also handled by the Regional Office staff. The four Regional Offices and communities that lie within their service areas are: • Region 1: Providence Region - City of Providence • Region 2: East Bay Region - Newport, East Providence, Barrington, Warren, Bristol, Tiverton, Little Compton, Portsmouth, Middletown, and Jamestown. • Region 3: South County Region - New Shoreham, Narragansett, South Kingstown, North Kingstown, Charlestown, Westerly, Hopkinton, Richmond, Exeter, West Greenwich, East Greenwich, Warwick, West Warwick, and Coventry. • Region 4: Northern Rhode Island - Central Falls, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Cranston, Johnston, Scituate, Foster, Glocester, Smithfield, North Smithfield, Burrillville, and Lincoln. 64
APPENDIX G: LEAD AGENCY CARE NETWORKS LEAD AGENCY CARE NETWORK: FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS LEAD AGENCY KEY EXPECTATIONS • The lead agency is responsible for ensuring the effective delivery of a continuum of services within their contracted region to all children and families referred by DCYF and may not refuse services or treatment for these referrals or reject any of these referrals. The Lead Agency will be required to fund specialized services not available within their Care Network through the established case rate. • The lead agency is expected to provide services as proximate to the child/youths’ community as possible, which reduce the number of children and youth placed outside of their community and which allow for the child/youth to maintain connection to their local school system. • Lead agencies may provide no more than twenty-five percent (25% - based on total service dollars for the region) of direct service within their region but may subcontract with lead agencies in other regions for direct service programming. LEAD AGENCY MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS • Developing a flexible network of service providers that meet identified needs of the region • Providing a single point of entry to the service system • Coordinating services throughout the course of treatment, placement and aftercare • Working with the DCYF case managers and families to develop family and child service plans • Family conferencing • Implementing “no reject, no eject” policies • Implementing standard service definitions and common clinical protocols • Treatment planning and conducting treatment team meetings with family members and clinicians • Implementing Continuous Quality improvement • Collaborating with schools, law enforcement, court, medical providers and others to 65
