Practice Guidelines and Rules
Due to changes in the law, the way in which policy will be written and published is being changed. We will no longer have "policy" as such; we will have "Practice Guidelines" and "Rules." Rules will have the same impact as law.
On April 29, 2003, the Child and Family Services Board reviewed the Practice Guidelines. These are tools for you to use in implementing practice in each of our program areas. These guidelines will be revised and updated from time to time - even now we are working on revisions. As you review these guidelines, please note that there is a state program specialist assigned to each area as a consultant.
You can view the guidelines at http://www.hspolicy.utah.gov/dcfs.
The Division of Administrative Rules has placed all rules on their Website. You can view these rules by visiting their Website at http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r512/r512.htm.
Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.
