Our current process is for the supervisor to let our
director know what the person on their team should have permissions for and
what they are qualified to do, such as TCM for which department, etc.
What is the process at other counties?
Is a child protection worker required to complete their
foundations training prior to being “qualified” for CW-TCM? Or is the
social worker degree enough? Sometimes our workers can’t complete this
training for quite some time, and that ends up being a lot of time we can’t
claim for.
Thank you!

Lavelle - Hubbard County has been waiting for the workers to finish foundations prior to giving them the CW-TCM qualifications. I don't know if it is right, but that's what we have done. I am hopeful that someone can shed some light on this!
ReplyDeleteHello! At MNPrairie, supervisors complete an agency form for new hires indicating to Administration which Role and what type of Qualifications in SSIS should be added for new staff. (This sometimes needs to be tweaked as time goes on.) We do not require child protection workers to complete their foundations training prior to being qualified for CW-TCM healthcare claiming. As long as the newly hired CP worker meets the CW-TCM eligible provider criteria as outlined on DHS bulletin 23-68-06, we can give them the CW-TCM healthcare claiming qualification.
