Florida Child Welfare Case Manager Certification Practice Exam

Under the Rilya Wilson Act, when must a counselor be notified of an at-risk child's attendance at day care?

1. After one excused absence

2. After seven unexcused absences

3. Both A and B

4. After the child is reported missing

The correct answer is: Both A and B

The Rilya Wilson Act requires counselors to be notified after both one excused absence and seven unexcused absences, not just one or the other. It is important for counselors to be aware of a child's attendance at day care in order to monitor their well-being and intervene if necessary. Option D, while a valid concern, does not directly relate to the act. It is also important to note that the act specifically mentions "excused" absences, which eliminates option B as a possible answer. Therefore, the best answer is C as it combines the criteria from both A and B.
