The Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) has contracted with the Children’s Review Program to conduct QRTP assessments of children who are being considered for placement in a residential (congregate care) program, in order to fulfill the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA). The assessment will inform DCBS and the courts whether a QRTP program is supported or not. All QRTP assessments are required to be completed within 30 days of a child being placed in a QRTP program.
For additional information about the process, review the QRTP Assessment Quick Facts on the Helpful Information page.
