				  followed to divert children from Children's Division (CD) legal custody when a
				  parent is unable to access or afford clinically indicated mental health
				  services for their child and the child otherwise is not the subject of parental
				  abuse, neglect or abandonment.
(1) Parents or legal guardians (parents) who
				are considering relinquishing custody solely for the purpose of accessing
				clinically indicated mental health services for their child or who otherwise
				cannot afford such services shall be referred by the Children's Division (CD)
				or Juvenile Court to the Department of Mental Health (DMH) or their designee

PURPOSE: This rule governs the use of Immediate
				  Safety Intervention Plans, which are used as part of Temporary Alternative
				  Placement Agreements (TAPAs) under section
				  210.123,
				  RSMo. An Immediate Safety Intervention Plan is a form for the relative
				  caretaker of a child under a TAPA to use to notify medical care providers,
				  educational institutions, and others that they have legal authority to make
				  day-to-day decisions for the child in their care.
(1) Purpose and Scope-
(A) An Immediate Safety Intervention Plan is
				a voluntary, time limited agreement between the Children's Division, a child's
				parent(s) and/or legal guardian(s), and any other third parties to protect a
				child from one (1) or more identified, immediate threats to the child's safety,
				health, and welfare in the short term. The purpose of the Immediate Safety
				Intervention Plan is to establish and document in writing a plan to keep a
				child safe with the goal of preventing or eliminating the need for the child to
				be involuntarily removed from the child's home and/or brought under the
				authority of a juvenile or family court pursuant to Chapter 211,
				RSMo.
(B) The paramount
				consideration for developing, implementing, and monitoring an Immediate Safety
				Intervention Plan is to protect the safety, best interests, and welfare of the
				child.
