According to DCFS policy and procedure, which decisions require approval of the child welfare professional's supervisor?

Case Transfer Staffing
Critical Decisions
Emergency Review
Transitional Visit

The correct answer is: Critical Decisions

Critical Decisions require approval of the child welfare professional's supervisor according to DCFS policy and procedure. Critical Decisions are major choices that can significantly impact the well-being and safety of the child and family involved in the case. These decisions usually involve significant changes or interventions, such as removal of a child from their home, changes in placement, or major service decisions. Seeking approval from the supervisor ensures that the decision-making process is thorough, well-informed, and in the best interest of the child. In contrast, the other options do not typically require approval of the supervisor. Case Transfer Staffing involves discussing possible transfer of case responsibility between child welfare professionals. Emergency Review addresses immediate safety concerns and may involve quick action without the need for supervisory approval. Transitional Visit is a routine activity aimed at supporting a child's transition between placements and does not generally require supervisor approval in the same way that Critical Decisions do.
