What is the minimum number of monthly supervision conferences a child placement management staff member must document with a branch-office employee who performs child-placing activities?

• A. 8 monthly conferences
• B. 10 monthly conferences
• C. 12 monthly conferences
• D. 15 monthly conferences

Answer: (B)

Regular, documented supervision with staff who handle child-placing activities is required to ensure ongoing oversight and quality of practice. The rule sets a minimum of ten monthly supervision conferences to be documented in a year with a branch-office employee who performs child-placing activities. This means you should aim for monthly touchpoints and record at least ten of them in the annual log. The purpose is to review casework, discuss policy and safety concerns, provide guidance, and verify that procedures meet licensing standards. Documentation should capture the date, participants, topics discussed, decisions made, and any follow-up actions. While ten is the minimum, scheduling additional conferences beyond that is permissible if needed to support compliance and quality care.
