 129. (1) A foster care licensee shall, as required by this section, conduct a safety assessment in respect of any child who is to be placed in a foster home used by the licensee to provide residential care and in respect of children receiving foster care in such foster homes in order to determine whether a safety plan is required for those children. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (2) For the purposes of this section, conducting a safety assessment in respect of a foster child consists of, (a) making reasonable efforts to determine whether the child engages in behaviours that may pose a risk to the safety of the child or others or whether there are other risks to the child’s safety, on the basis of all information known to the licensee, including information about the child’s needs and behaviours contained in, (i) any documents or information collected by the licensee or any documents created by the licensee as part of the pre-placement assessment described in section 127, (ii) any serious occurrence reports or other reports concerning the child prepared by the licensee or persons providing direct care to the child on behalf of the licensee, and (iii) any plan of care developed for the child; and (b) obtaining the view of the person who is placing the child or who placed the child or of the placing agency, as the case may be, on the need for a safety plan for the child. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (3) The foster care licensee shall document any safety assessment conducted under this section and ensure that the documentation is maintained in the child’s file. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (4) A safety plan is required for a child under this section if, after conducting a safety assessment, the licensee determines that, (a) the child engages in behaviours that may pose a risk to the safety of the child or others or there are other risks to the safety of the child; or (b) the view of the person who is placing or who placed the child or the placing agency, as the case may be, is that a safety plan is needed. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (5) Unless a safety plan has already been developed for a child in accordance with section 129.1, a safety assessment must be conducted by the licensee, (a) in the case of a child who is to be placed in the foster home, before the child’s placement; (b) in the case of a child already receiving foster care in a foster home, (i) during the development or review of the child’s foster plan of care under section 131.2, and (ii) immediately following any situation during which the child engages in any behaviours which may pose a risk to the safety of the child or others or during which the child’s safety is otherwise put at risk. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (6) If a safety plan is required for a child, the licensee shall ensure that a safety plan is developed in accordance with the requirements of section 129.1 as soon as possible and, in the case of a child who is to be placed in the foster home, before the child’s placement. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26. (7) Within 30 days after the day on which section 26 of Ontario Regulation 350/22 comes into force, a foster care licensee shall, in respect of every child who, on that day, is receiving foster care in a foster home used by the licensee to provide residential care, (a) conduct a safety assessment in respect of the child; and (b) if a safety plan is required, develop a safety plan as soon as possible in accordance with the requirements of section 129.1. O. Reg. 350/22, s. 26.
