[Counselors] DHS workers and Juvenile Officers

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

OJA & outside counselors  must bring a signed release of information the
first time they meet with a student.  We ask them to see the student during
an elective and have a list for the counselor to sign so that the absence
doesn't count against the student.  DHS is usually at the school
investigating abuse/neglect and I believe we are required by state law to
let them visit with the students.  I prefer not to be in the room when they
are speaking with the student but if the student asks I will accompany them.

1.     How do you handle new DHS workers or Juvenile Officers when they come
to your school wanting information on a student?  

2.    What paperwork do you ask for from them?  

3.    When do you allow them to visit with your students, during the same
elective, before/after school?

4.    Please share anything else that you have to offer.

 

Thank you,
