According to the text, who prepares the PDS in a child welfare case?

A child's legal guardian
An authorized representative of the department
Any family member
The child, if of sufficient age

The correct answer is: An authorized representative of the department

The authorized representative of the department is responsible for preparing the PDS in a child welfare case. This is because they have the expertise and knowledge to gather all relevant information and make informed decisions about the child's best interests. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not have the necessary authority or expertise to prepare the PDS. A child's legal guardian may be consulted or have input in the decision-making process, but they are not the sole person responsible for preparing the PDS. Any family member, although they may have a close relationship with the child, may not have the necessary qualifications to make decisions about the case. Similarly, although the child may have some input in the decision-making process, they do not have the authority or expertise to prepare the PDS. Therefore, option B is the correct and most logical answer.
